Bilge filling with water?
My bilge keeps filling with water. Both bilge pumps keep kicking on while at speed and pumping out a lot of water. The extension boxes are dry and I cant see water coming in when the boat is still. If the engines are running I still cant see any water. I get up to speed and the bilge pumps start pumping water out like crazy. Where can it be coming from?

If it's ambient, it's coming from somewhere before
the coolers/heat exchangers.

Sometimes, when theres a leak, there will
be a hard water stain that develops where
the water runs along....you can look for the stains
on hoses, etc.
The last time I had to track down a leak, I had to
take out the seat back, and have a friend drive the
boat while I looked for the leak......he had to run it
90 mph before I could find something....it was
a inlet hose from the thru hull pickup.

No, I tried that. Couldnt see anything and had it up to 2000rpm. Didnt do a thing. This has to be ALOT of water for it to make 2 bilge pumps run almost full time.
