Still learning about the jet drive system not but the other night I flipped on the Bilder while sailing and to my surprise it kept pumping the whole time I’m running. At flot or low speed there’s nothing but once I get above 6k rom and on plane it’s pumping the whole time. Normal?
 
I'm assuming your talking about the bilge pump?? It should be on whenever the boat is in the water. It sounds like you have a high pressure leak. Take someone with you on the water and open the engine hatch while underway to see if you find where it's leaking
 
Also, is there a chance you're confusing the bilge outlet with the "pissers"? Your boat has coolant water outlets that come out of the starboard side, not far from the bilge outlet. The pissers are much smaller fittings, and let off a smaller stream, but there should be one for each engine, and they should run the whole time the engine(s) run. If you're certain it's the bilge, not the pissers, @Babin Farms has you covered...
