bilge pump

[macojoe]

One (not suprisingly from MJ) about blocking them up - with any luck, I hope to have some fish scales to rinse off the deck, and I don't need a plugged up pump. On my '85, the deck "self bailes" by draining into the bilge, so the pump actually does the bailing.

Everyones picking on me :'(

PS - About forgetting to put the plug in. I found an old wrench that fits my plug, made a wire hook and attached that and some orange flagging tape to it. I hang it on the steering wheel - even at 0400 in the morning, without any coffee, I can't miss it.

Okay Fellas, This lady has GAME!!

I like her. Welcome aboard again TP

Just a thought, sometimes we address people around her by using initials, Reelapeelin' is RAP, MacoJoe is MJ, and so on. I hope you don't get stuck being called TP all the time!

I agree with the "Have pumps" posts. I have one on an auto float switch and another on a dash switch. I have used them both as recently as as two weeks ago.
If it's a self bailing deck I'd even have a big one on deck in case you get swamped or stuff the bow in a huge wave. As well, Make sure you keep the scuppers clear at all times too.
All boats can sink. Even Boston Whalers...tho' not to the bottom but, I've seen'm with only the bow breaching the water. Not a pretty sight.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm really liking this gal. 8)

Welcome aboard TP!

By the way, I was very happy to see this thread because my single pump is old and I'm going to be replacing it before winter striper fishing kicks off. I was going to post a thread asking what kind to get and what kind of float switch is best. So, thanks for saving me the trouble.
