Leak After Launch

Two days after launching my boat, I found 2 inches of water in the bilge. I pumped it out and am waiting to see if any more water enters. The same thing happened last year, but the bilge stayed dry after about a week. I am in a covered slip so it wasn't rain water. Is it possible that the seals in the stern drives could dry out over the winter and need to settle a bit after launching? Has anyone experienced this? I am stumped. Thanks.

There are also steering pins and bellows that could leak.
I would agree with you Als... until the last mechanic fixed my boat.. it was completely dry for a LONG time, until the rain started... like a month or two, bone dry.. was great.
Just keep an eye on it ... it might not be that serious.
