The bilge on the 33 is tiny...it doesn't take much to fill it up....; The suggestions made by Dennis are accurate; if you just launched, it could be extraneous water; keep a close eye on whether you are getting more water or if it was a one-time event...

If it doesn't rain, my bilge pump won't pump for days. Check the drive shaft stuffing box first. Dennis C.

I just put my boat in to start the season. I found that my Bilge Pump Float switch was not working. I also found that with the boat sitting in the water, the bilge filled up with water in quite a short time (like it about 4 hours) I wanted to know if that seems right. I should with the water rising so quickly, the bilge pump would be running all the time. Does anyone know what could be causing it? I removed the hose from the stern that fed into it, just to make sure it was not coming from the engine compartment. Any ideas?
