[Rhodes22-list] One month & two days

[Lowe, Rob]

Joe,
Congratulations and congratulations!  Retirement and a new boat.  I envy you.  Stay and watch the Phillies.  I would expect your boat to come with a bilge pump, although with as little water that collects in them, a sponge works just fine.  We've got an electric one on our 1976 and rarely use it. And then just manually.  I don't have a check valve on my discharge line and if its left on automatic it cycles on and off and drains the battery. - rob

Hey Guys and Gals:
     I am one month from retirement after thirty-seven years in police work; I suppose that is significant in some ways. More importantly,I am one month, one day and fifteen hours (approximately) from taking delivery of my recycled 1987 Rhodes 22.  To hell with retirement, because I want to get out on the water. Let me ask a question (as usual).
     The bilge: damp, drippy, even wet sometimes.  I've read lots of commentary here about the bilge pump.  Is there a bilge pump that comes with the Rhodes package, or do I need to pick up something?  I'd go with a simple manual deal, were there no reason to go electric. I am not adverse to manual labor (at least at times when my lovely wife hasn't thought it up for me).  So, please give me the low-down on this vexing topic, which will either send me to K Mart or keep me home watching the Phillies.
No poem this time,
Joe
