go back and look at your bellows again, especially the shift cable bellows, tug on it a bit, make sure it doesn't have a split in it

It was a little choppy but don't think we had too much water up near the rail. Plus we sat there for an hour and then the pump went off. hmmm, I just assumed it would be in the rear somewhere. I won't jack up the front too much then. I should be fishing instead of working on the boat :( Thanks everyone. rkc
