Yes I have a pump it's located in the well between the batteries.

That was a jab at MJ, not at you. Ask MJ about his last V-20 outing.

Welcome to the site.
The floor coolers drain into the bottom and then into the bilge.
Stick your finger into the hole toward the coolers and make sure there is room to drill another drain directly below it. Three inches above the bottom of the bilge sounds way too high.
Here is where mine is located.

Oh, this is what I did for the bilge pump installation.

Just a 1/4" piece of aluminum plate keeps it centered and flat and off the bottom just enough to reduce a lot of sand being sucked up in it.

thats a why I stopped using them, I kept burning them out!

Thanks for the advise.I'll let you know how I make out.So I guess there is always water in bilge till it's reaches the drian hole.It just seemed to be a little much.But in the 70's I guess it was high-tec.Send pics when I get back down to the dock

Rather than tossin' a bucket of water on blood-stains each time, you might wanna try a SOAKED towel on them...you'll get less water in the boat and keep the stains from setting...

I used a piece of 1/4" rubber under my pump...5200 holds it to the bottom of the boat and short SS screws into the rubber have been there since '99
