[Public-List] Bilge Pump

[dan walker]

i have had three automatics since 2000 so yup, they do not last. finally figured out most of the water in my bilge was from the rain. going to buy a case of beer the next time they predict three days of steady rain and put a floodlight in the area under the cockpit and just stare until i figure out the source.
