Bilge constantly streaming water while engine is on

[benfish3r]

I have noticed this year that my bilge is constantly streaming water while the engine is at idle and while in gear. I opened up the clean out tray while the boat was in water and running while holding the kill switch and inside remained completely dry. I filled it with water while trailered to see if I could locate any leaks and I noticed water below my jet drive.

I'm guessing this is where my leak is? Thoughts?

Is the bilge running constantly when you’re on the water with the engine off? Or more so just when engine is running? If when engine is running, I’m thinking a coolant hose came of or is leaking, so I would check for that in the engine compartment.

I recommend going through this post to get a start on finding your leak:

When the engine is off the bilge is off. I haven't inspected all the coolant hoses yet. The engine bay has also been dry.

As you will see from the link I provided....first question is - is the water hot or cold? That helps narrow down to an engine cooling system leak or not.
