Re: the bilge, A River Runs Through It.

Linus, do you have the original shower sump in place?

I’m curious how some people say they can get a person in there, in my boat there is the tray holding the v drive, then about 1-2” forward to the sump and then another 5 or 6” to the holding tank, which is under the floor past the edge of the hatch a good 4”. I can barely get a hand in there much less a vacuum shaped contraption.

Even with the sump out it seems improbable I could get myself down there, though it would certinly be easier to work on the pump(s).

The sump is pretty big, especially considering how little it’s used, I’m thinking of re-doing the whole mess.

As far as the manual bilge pump, do you guys have the suction secured with a strainer attached to the board, or just loose in the bilge somewhere?

That is what I have done only I used starboard. The small pump sits on the bottom of the bilge, with a lager one on a step 10″ higher. I still have a little water that runs back down when the pump shuts off, only 1/2 inch or so.
