Hi Rodd,

Use a SS plate or aluminum plate – it sinks and and will stay down and won't corrode. You could also use 1/2 acrylic. Don't use wood. It floats. It rots. It smells bad.

In preparation for in-water storage this winter I want to install a rule 500 bilge pump and a float switch in the deep bilge. My question is how best to anchor the pump and switch in the bilge. I thought perhaps to mount both items on a peice of wood and then screw the wood to the bottom of the deep bilge. Any ideas here would be helpful.

Thanks.
