The 21 has two bilges...forward one, just aft of the fuel tank is where the bilge-pump is located center-line...that's the only one I would try to do this as aft bilge is quite difficult to access...anyway, there's no place on the keel to do it...it'll have to be up the hill to port side as water intake is starboard and probably causes some turbulence...anyway, I'm goin to Lowes tomorrow and get the PVC and a cap...thinking of painting the X cut where the cable goes thru w/liquid electrical tape...Thanks a ton, CB!!...really appreciate all the pics!!
