Default Need to find small leak

When I was out last Sunday (with the grandkids no less), after about an hour of fishing (anchored), the bildge pump switched on and good amount of water was pumped out (that when we decided to go in). The boat always seemed to let a little water in but not that much.

When I got home I put about a half a foot of water (boat bow raised), and I not see any obvious leaks.

The bellows looks and feels great.



When I put the outdrive on, I do not use sealant on the main gasket like the PO did. I though with a new gasket properly torqued down it shouldn't leak (esp that much). Am I wrong?

I am thinking I am going to need to pull the battery and really fill it with water to find the leak?
