taking on water
I just finally got my ski back the water after a prop and wear ring replace due to rocks last season I was out about an hour n a half and opened the drain plugs on the boat ramp and out came about 4 gallons of very hot water once home did an inspection and found no hoses off any other possible reason than carbon seal?

Leave it on the trailer on the ramp and run it. See if you can find where the water is coming from.

If it is very hot i would think you have a leak in the exhaust somewhere. Run it on the hose and check.

Well I ran it on the hose and seen nothing It wasn't a problem before having my pump off last time this happened replaced carbon seal but really could not see it leaking just over 130 hrs for that now 200hrs.

If it's hot water it must be your waterbox or a loose related hose.

it could be from any thing
the motor is hot and any water sloshing around in the hull will get hot
water leaks can be a bitch to find, but you said it was worse after pump work
I have seen the bailer tubes actually flow backwards because the tubes in the nozzle moved
also look at the seals and nuts on the steering and reverse cables
try leaving it on the trailer at the lake, bring a bright flash light and look it over with the motor running

Jack the trailer up in the front and fill the back of the hull with water and see if water comes out anywhere. That's what I did to find my leak.

No obvious leak at the ramp will run it over the weekend if more water in hull most likely the carbon seal which would be my second at just 190 hrs.
