"I want to know how to get that last half-inch of water out of the bilge -

> On Sabrina #158, someone just took a thin sheet aluminum and shaped a pan
with a bottom that sort of looks like a cross between a "almost-rectangle"
and a "long triangle". They folded up the sides and put pop-rivets in tabs
at the corners. It fits underneath pretty tight and about 5 inches below the
engine and I just put a spill pad in it cut to the shape of the bottom. It
works and never has turned over or fallen into the bilge.
