I have a 1981 Sea Ray SRV 245 that I am refurbishing. Over the summer, before I started the refubishing, I noted water in the galley floor. The Sea Ray manual says I have a sump pump. When I finally took the floor board up I noticed that around the gas tank, I take on water which then flows to a bildge pump. I have to press a button called "step up" to activate the bildge. If I am not around the boat for a few days I have a huge puddle. Does anyone have any idea how the water gets in there? What is the purpose of having a sump pump there? I know I will need to get an automatic float switch and a part so that the water does not back wash. I just wondered if anyone had this problem before and how they took care of it.
