bilge pump

[rhahn427]

Install a bilge pump ....... I can't believe that someone would tell you that ........ it's one thing to take a chance for yourself ........ it's quite another to endanger someone else especially for something that's $30 - $100 installed ........

water gets in many ways and it does sink boats ....... I even have one on my 16 ft flatbottom bass boat ........ install a bilge pump and hope you never have to use it .....

MC, WAIT TILL YOU START GETTING WATER IN ONE DAY AND I'LL BE YA'D RUN TO THE STORE AND BUY THE BIGGEST PUMP THE HAVE, THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN A FRIEND'S BOAT, GOING TO BIMINI, THE STUPID MF HIT A BIG WAVE AND THE HULL CRACKED BOUT A FOOT LONG,
BEFORE WE KNEW IT, WE WERE SWIMING INSIDE THE BOAT, CALLING MAYDAY AT 20 MILES OUT IN THE FLA STRAIGTHS, AS A RESULT, NOW I BOUGTH THE FOLLOWING:

- 2 BILGE PUMPS, 1 -800 GPH AUTOMATIC, 1, 3000 GPH AUTO/MANUAL W/SOUND ALARM
- AUTO/MANUAL E.P.I.R.B (EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATOR RADIO BEACON) 400 MHZ (SATELITE LINKED)
- 2 MUSTANG AUTOMATIC PFD'S
- VERY IMPORTANT: ALL MY PFD'S ARE LAID LOOSE INSIDE THE CABIN, IF YOU CAPSIZE OR SINK QUICKLY, YOU'D WANT THEM TO FLOAT AT THE SURFACE, NOT TO SINK IN A FANCY BAG.

Too late, I think we scared her away. Probably read the above posts and thought twice about this group! ::)

no, you all did not run me off. i dont post much. i have this bad habit of telling the truth. always gets me in trouble. i have been real busy with work and trying not to kill relatives.

and REELYAPEEIN, girls can do stuff too! it,s just that over the years we have trained a special kinda monkey, men, to do the stuff we dont wanna for us. and i called him my ex cause i am stuck up here in the cape for a while. he is only my boyfriend when i am in florida. so i am single till the first of the year.

i called the marina and they said that they would install 2 bilge pumps for me for $250. does that sound fair? i told him to go ahead and do it. my boat is in florida and i will post some picks as soon as i get home. thanks for all you guys help.

sounds reasonable for marina mechanic prices...a bit pricey for us cheap azzes that like to do it ourselves to save $$

[msbhammer]

It is pricey, but the hourly rate sounds right.

[turbinedoctor]

A little pricey but worth the peice of mind.

How about some pictures of the boat.

Lets hope not.

As for telling the truth and getting into trouble, she should read about the trouble Fishbonejr got into for not telling the truth in here.

Tell the truth and the truth will set you free.
