Default RE: RIO EP - how does bilge system work?

Just so you know there is no bilge pump like there would be on a real boat. The water hoses are to bring water in and cool the engine. The water pickup is in the back, goes around the motor and exits the side, it should not be ending up in the hull. I would check you hoses and also the drive shaft tube. The drive shaft tube has to be greased to prevent water from coming in through the tube.
