Great looking V you got there, I've looked through your gallery photos many times since I got my '78 back in Nov. I was wondering what you have as far as your bilge/pump set up ? I too have the 470.

I want ta say the bilge pump is a RULE, and is mounted to the hull bottom directly below the oil pan, right under #2 cylinder. Ive never needed it but I run a little water in the anchor chain locker and flush the bilge. I let it pump it back out to make sure it still works.

Thanks for the info C, trying to decide which route to go. Two bilge pumps, scuppers or both. I have not had my boat in the water yet and it will be a while yet so I don't know exactly where the water line is. Is water line low enough on your boat for scuppers to work well?

I have used several of those Walmart boat covers over the years on my smaller boats (the V came with a super nice cover). The best thing about them is the 2 year warranty, they last about 22 months so you only have to buy once.

I have both scuppers and 4 pumps totaling 3200 gph! Scuppers take care of above floor, pumps below floor.
