[Rhodes22-list] Bilge pump location and cockpit cushions

[James Cross]

Dear R22 gurus:

Seeking your wise counsel on two issues:
1.  Where is the proper location for a bilge pump on the Rhodes?  I have a
through - hull on the stern into the Lazare tye but no connecting hose.
2.  If one wanted to set up the cockpit for complete coverage with cushions
what is the set-up?  The two teak boards on the front edge of the cockpit
seats are fairly obviously supports...but for what?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
J. Cross
