The bilge is working in there. Could be some water from my water system
problems and playing with that. The bilge doesn't kick in until there
is about 2" water in the center section fo the engine compartment.


First of all, what you're referring to is a bilge pump, not a bilge. The
bilge is the confined area below decks. The bilge pump is what removes the
water that shouldn't be there in the first place. You need to get beyond
the "could be" stage of this situation and start living in the hard reality
of it. As long as there is any standing water in either bilge, you will
never discover the source. A wet/dry shop vac will remove most of the water
that the bilge pump won't address. Dry rags will get the rest. You need to
get both bilge areas to a bone dry state and then watch diligently for water
intrusion. The operative word here is diligence, and it appears to be
lacking in your efforts so far.

But in all honesty, you really don't appear to possess the skill set that is
required to properly diagnose and resolve the problem. I believe your best
move at this point is to call in professional assistance.
