2020 Wellcraft 202 Fisherman - Was out today had 7 people on the boat, running heavier than typical. - bilge pump came on multiple times could not see where water is coming in - i docked the boat for 4 hours checked it, manually turned bilge pump no water came out - So the water coming is when i am underway, couldn't see where it was coming from. I am wondering if i was plowing and it is coming in through the front hull vent- not sure it is cause? I pulled the boat out incase i have a bad through-hull. Any thoughts/experience would be appreciated.

I had a center console boat that help water when sitting still in the bow. When I got up on plane it would drain back and pump out. Maybe this boat sits like that. Do you have access to look in the bilge area to look for water?
