Boat seems to be taking on water while anchored.

I just punched a 2014 Scarab 195. The boat is great however I have one problem that I cannot seem to figure out. While we are anchored the bilge seems to be pumping a lot of water. I check the engine compartment every time and it seems completely dry. Where is the water coming from?
 
Put your boat on your trailer. Put about 5 gal of water in the engine compartment. Stand behind the boat. You should see what is leaking.

Thanks @Gym i will try that this afternoon.
 
I looks like the previous owner replaced the intake grate with one that does not fit correctly.990579905899059
 
Good find. What's the fix?

Want to find an intake grate that actually fits. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket grate that will fit a 2014 Scarab 195 impulse.

I tried to seal it up with some 4200 today. Just until I can order the correct intake grate I will let you know tomorrow night if it worked.

We were anchored for 4 hours yesterday and the bilge pump did not kick on once. It looks like the 4200 worked.
