[Public-List] Automatic bilge pumps

[Jonathan Adams]

Casey's book - This Old Boat (I think that is the title) has a large section on how you should rig an electrical pump. There is a new version of that book, out, and it is worth buying if you do not have it.

I have an electrical pump, and do not have the problems others have stated, but that is really because the boat does not leak - which speaks to CB's original point:)

I had a situation on a 17' Boston Whaler that I used to own. The discharge hose was simply draped over the transom. I went on vacation and we had an enouruous amount of rain that week. The force of the water coming trhough the hose, re-positioned the hose so it was pumping back into the boat. I esentially had a water fountain in the boat until the battery died and the boat sank. I usually checked on the boat, but with an electric pump, I was lulled into a false sense of security. Mike Lehman  ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸><((((º>
