If your bilge pump was having trouble keeping up with water coming in through your bilge vents, it probably isn't big enough. You might consider a larger pump and at least one backup pump. I have three bilge pumps in my 25 Seafari, all on separate float switches, with a combined capacity of 4800gph.
