[Rhodes22-list] Bilge Pump Question

[KUHN, LELAND]

Caesar,

Everything I've read says you should have an automatic bilge pump if you keep your boat in the water.

I don't have one because every time it rains I can use it as an excuse to go down to the boat.  I'm also less than a mile from my slip and my bilge rarely gets any water in it.  My lazarette almost always gets water in it if it rains much, so that's where I'd really need the pump.

So who are you going to listen to; me or all the published experts?

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!

How many of you have a bilge pump installed on your Rhodes, and what kind (automatic or manual)?

Where is it installed  and how did you run or route the outlet hose?

If I had one installed last June when I broke my centerboard cap, I would have discovered the damage much earlier.

I have a west marine manual type, but am considering installing an electric automatic one.

Thanks,
Caesar
