I have a degree of water coming into my builge when under power, have had it checked by two marina's and surveyor who say it's OK but I get several inches of water each cruise any suggestions.

Usual seepage rate is 2 to 6 drops when not

running and slightly more when turning. I usually know it's time to adjust or tighten the packing when auto bilge pump kicks in more than once a day. That's per minute, I forgot to say, can be as much as 10 or 15 when running, harder you run, more it seeps, & more often you must tighten.
