Not sure where the aft bilge pump is on your 39 Sovran but on my 2003 38 Open it's near the transom and when I accelerate from an idle to cruise speed the pumps comes on for 20-30 seconds. This due to the small amount water in the bilge that runs aft. Not enough to pump but enough to cause the pump to come on. Had the same problem on my 1997 31 Open.... Pump always goes off after 20-30 seconds M2C
