Anyone know of an easy way to find a boat leak in about 4 hours fishing 4-5 gallons water. The bilge pump takes care of it but would like to fix if I can find it.
 
Fill it up and look under the boat for a leaky rivet. If you have a deck this might be more difficult. I would
check the thru-hull fittings and your boat plugs......check you hose clamps too.
 
That sounds like a pretty serious leak and more than a few rivets to me. My boat had about 14 rivets just seeping and I only got about 1-2 quarts of water in 5-6 hours of fishing. Set the angle of your trailer and fill the boat with water as mentioned above. You may have to fill it to the water line mark on the outside of the boat before you find all of your leaks.
