saltypat is an unknown quantity at this point
Water only in one section

Yes, the electric bilge pump works. We were out overnight (only for the second time) this weekend, and we heard the automatic bilge pump run a few times (I thought probably ice melting and draining out of the icebox), but not repeatedly and periodically as if there was a major leak...

And the bilge under the cockpit only has a very small amount under the stuffing box area.

I only see water in the one main well area, none in the bilge under the cockpit or close to the companionway....
