Bilge Issue Help and Advice

Take however many batteries are in that boat and move them under the console....if you haven't already.

I agree with numerous ideas on this one. Move as much weight forward as you can (batteries,coolers,external fuel cells? etc..) I have had great success with ball scuppers on many boats I have owned I have one pictured. And definitely put a inline fuse to your bilge pumps if you hook them straight to the battery. I have also done research on the bilge hose and Im gonna be using a white sanitation hose like what is used in marine a camper applications. I hear the smooth wall on the sanitation hose will let your bilges run much better, plus it has good longevity.

From experience (not all good), always wire directly to the batteries on a fused line. Always have 2 pumps. Always have the larger of the 2, your primary (lowest point) pump. Always have one pump on each battery. And finally, replace any suspect hoses you think might be leaking. These suggestions will allow you to sleep much better at night.
