I've got a leak somewhere in my 2020 228, I have to track it down. I came to the dock recently and had over 5 minutes of water out of the plug hole, I've never had more than 30 seconds before and usually a lot less, sometimes it's completely dry.

I wondered why my bilge pump wasn't going, thought maybe the float was gunked up and got a flash light and started poking around. My rear pump is mounted on the wall in front of the baitwell and the bottom of it is 6 inches above the floor? What was Grady thinking? Where is yours?

And have any of you gotten worried enough to mount another one back next to the baitwell (or is there space below the baitwell?) and did you drill in another scupper for the 2nd hose from the 2nd pump?
