I have to dis-agree Doug, I think it is wise to view your bilges more
often than once a day. I like to do it at a min of once every 6 hours

Agree with Joe. On a delivery of a new boat, wind conditions changed
creating additional heel. An improperly designed anti-siphon loop
started taking on water. A once a day bilge check might have been a
disaster. Our watches were set at four hours and it was on the check
list.
