Ray - not right at all.  I have the same boat as you.   The 33-2 has a deep 
sump, mine takes on no water at all. 

I am assuming you have closed all through hulls and checked instrument senders.

I suggest you spend 30 min and remove the table (four bolts) and cabin sole (a 
bunch of screws, use a cordless drill.).   You will find the problem quickly 
enough.
