<DIV><FONT size=2>I would be very interested in how others have installed their
bilge pumps. On SallyB #441 (with a floor liner) the automatic bilge pump hangs
on a strap at the back end of the battery compartment directly at the foot of
the stairs. From there to the stern and the through hull is such a long run that
the amount of water that runs back after the pump shuts off is just about enough
to start the pump again. I put in a check valve, which I understand is a no no,
but I am just not satisfied with the setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Should I get the pump out of the bilge and just have a float
switch??</FONT></DIV>
