[Public-list] Bilge Pump Discharge

[Roger L. Kingsland]

RE one of the more exciting A30 topics, I installed a new manual bilge pump on Sunday and realized #148 has no through hull for discharge.  The old pump was located in the starboard cockpit locker and I never noticed how it got the water overboard.  Does anyone know how the discharge "normally" works?  Should I install a new through hull near the electric pump discharge, direct water into cockpit or have a hose I can throh overboard?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
