[Rhodes22-list] bilge pump

[Michael Meltzer]

Roger is right, I add a few more

The vent would have to be a few inch off the sole, but water would have to be about 8+- inches in the Lazzerette(sole/hull offset),
with the water in there the ass would be down, the foam kicking in and it would do nothing. On the other hand it make the cock pit
that much bigger and can hold more water.

I could a stuip question, how did the water get in thier.
