[Alberg30] Bilge pump?

[Alan P. Kefauver]

I use the rule automatic Platinum (may be the 2000). It learns how often to turn on and shut off based on pump time and water level. works great! The output line runs up the keel to the back lazarette and out through a marlon thru hull on the lower corner of the stern. There is a check valve in the line.
