I have had my boat in the marina for the last two years and just like you everytime i stepped on her she spewed water out the bilge pipe. I thought it was alway rain......maybe that is your problem??? But sometimes last summer when it was not raining i still had water. Take the plug out and wrap it up with a lot of plumbers tape. that might help.

I have an I/O and had a leak from the rear seal of my heat exchanger. It looks like you have an O/B, so that's probably not it.
I'd check that through-hull. My wash-down fitting didn't seem to be leaking, but when I went to re-plumb the pump, it moved a little and when I pulled it out, the transom wood was wet and thinking seriously about starting to rot. I'm glad I checked it.

a friend of mine that is a retired Lt. Commander from the Navy after serving a full stint on submarines, once told me " the #1 Object of boating is keeping water out of the people holder" thats about as simple as it gets

Yea and I bet if you looked at his Navy ships there was water in the hole!!
Boat is in water, it rains out, dew from the night, pulling anchor, taking spray, taking waves all leads to water in the boat! If you filled with water like you said and nothing dripped, and you checked the bait pump then all is good!! Taste the water, is it salt or fresh?? Now stop it or I will find your boat and dump a bucket of water in every night and you really will go nuts!!
