[Rhodes22-list] Water in bilge from line w/o check valve?

[ASNOOCH at aol.com]

Hi Greg, 
I believe I solved that issue years ago by extending a look of  my bilge 
pump outlet hose above the thru hull outlet where it would be above any  water 
level heel..... no problem pumping out... due to the relative small  
increase in height... 
PS. I assume you received the sailcloth, SS rail tubing,  fittings, $5. 
Main "stinky" sail... and blocks in good order. I've got more  goodies... going 
on the block... best buy still is that rip stop nylon spinnaker  cloth... 
less than 80% cost... makes a beautiful assymetrical spinnaker.... Just  let 
me know.... some of the colors and weights are becoming "limited"  
inventory... Clean me out ... if you can... discovered one more Rhodes 22  boom.... 
for cost of aluminum if you pick up...
Hope your enjoying this fine sailing weather...

I  have gotten water in the bilge since I got the boat. I ruled out rain,  
and
always thought the CB cap was the problem. After Earl I think I found  the
problem. I am at a mooring in the Upper Chesapeake and get a ton of  
rocking.
I don't have a check valve in my bilge and think that might be the  cause.
The boat rocks and when the through hull goes underwater it sends it  back 
to
the bilge. This taxes the battery and eventually kills it, then the  bilge
fills with water and the lower it sits compounds the problem.  
Does everyone have a check valve for the bilge?
