When I got it there was a single pump the size of a snuff can with hose running to a plastic thru hull that fell apart when touched- NO GOOD. Now have 1 1/8 SS.
Tested scuppers today, even in reverse...NO WATER can you believe that?

On another note wife and I got caught in a H*LL of a rain storm today and was surprised at how much wound up in the bilge. Have to look into that tomorrow.

From rain there a lotta places water could find the bilge...from the sliding front hatch lid to the rod holders on top of the gunwale...is there a really good seal around your fuel tank hatch?...and inspection plates...and of course the dreaded combination of all the above...
