[Public-List] Bilge pumping using the auxillary engine

[Jim Davis]

Personally I would consider this as a last resort action.  As mentioned it doesn't take much debris to take out the pump and then you are powerless.  Also most small diesels and gas burners don't throw that much water.  I would think a large electric pump, it could be an manually switched or automatic or Water Puppy style would be a better move.  Of course if you get a major leak even these may not be enough.

Don't forget the simple bucket,  A man standing up to his knees in water can move a lot of it.

"Ah consensus . the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.  What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner 'I stand for consensus'?"
