How much water in the blge is "normal"?

No I don't have a dripless seal. I actually had to look one up just to see what it was. I have always been an Outboard guy and used to a dry bilge, so I was concerned with water the first few weeks I owned mine (bought it in Sept) but since the pump rarely comes on I have dismissed most of my concerns. If I remember right my thru hull for the fish box is brass or bronze. Either mine has been replaced or I haven't looked close enough. Unless you have a live well type setup I don't think running should cause more water if this is where it is leaking - but like I said I am a newbie to the SeaCraft crowd.
