Hello:

I have a '90 model 220 OV. I have only had it for a couple on months and notice that the bilge pump activates about once an hour and pumps a few gallons out of the bilge when the boat is deployed. (When docked, it is lifted out of the water and of couse doesn't leak.) Also, today, i noticed that the carpet is wet under the rear seats. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem, or know where all this water could be coming from?

Thanks,
Bill Ferguson
 
I would do a thorough inspection of the bellows.
Pull the drive and inspect bellows completely, also while you have the drive off, it's a good time to look at the gimbal bearings and look to see if there is any water in the bellows.
Some of the more seasoned folks will chime in with more descriptive info, but that would be my first guess.
