Well, though you were a little critical, at least it was constructive.
If I was an expert at this I obviously wouln't be asking for help on
the internet.

I vacuumed up the water in the engine compartment and the compartment
under the table in the cabin. The mid-ship bilge compartment was still
dry from last time. It turns out that the engine compartment and
forward compartment are connected. After getting that dry and watching
for new water, I vacuumed the carpet again. It stayed dry. Before, it
was wet again in 5 minutes. The water in the enigine compartment was
the problem.

The water got in there when my boat was dropped in the water. Since
they didn't winterize my boat, the A/C raw water strainer broke and
water entered the engine compartment until I saw it and shut the valve.
I thought the bilge would take care of it.

The fact that there was a good 1.5" of water in there concerns me a
little. The bilge is working, but doesn't kick in unitl the water is
pretty high. At what level should the bilge kick in? My guess is as
soon is there is any water.

Thanks everyone for the help. This was quite a relief not having to
have the boat pulled out of the water and looking at big repair $$$$.
