[Rhodes22-list] Bilge pump

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ted:
     No pics.  It was ugly, and I didn't want to preserve it.  What I did was tie a heavy shackle to the end of the discharge hose, so it stayed put.  I also looped a length of string around the galley rail, but that was overkill.  Remember Rummy.

Joe:

How did you run the discharge line into the galley sink?

Do you have any pictures by any chance?

I am trying to figure the best path to take to get the discharge over to the sink discharge.

Cheers,
Ted

It turned out to be nothing to do with the cockpit drains, but a leak in a starboard port, which I resealed. But I installed the bilge pump nonetheless.  I feel better now.  Stan said, "no bilge pump," when I inquired.  Under perfect circumstances, no bilge pump is needed. But "perfect conditions" is an illusion, like control of your life. (control of your wife)

I'd get a separate float switch and not rely on the models with internal switches. Epoxy the switch right onto the hull beside the pump. For a year, I ran the hose right into my sink when I left the boat on the hook. Now, I have it plumbed under the galley and into the sink drain. The boat's been dry since I installed it.  It's insurance.  You only  need it when you need it.  Wire it directly to the battery with a fuse in line. That way there's no switch to forget to activate.  Remember Rummy!
