   I don't  have the same bilge pump you do, but I am aware that without
   a backflow preventer valve in the discharge, water can be pumped but
   then flows backward into the bilge again when the pump stops. So, water
   is detected again and it trys to pump out again.
   Another issue with your pump is internal valves that sometimes gets
   debris in it that prevents proper sealing/operation. There is a kit
   available to easily rebuild the
   pump.
   Obviously the above deals only with potential pump issues, not leak
   sources.

   Haven’t run the engine that much yet so don’t know. But the other issue
   is the bilge runs intermittently every 15 min or so - so something is
   leaking - but maybe that in the water system?-,they are checking on
   that as well.
