My manual bilge pump discharges at the stern. The pump itself is located under the engine panel (with a very long run from the bilge to the pump) and discharges at the stern. In fact, the thru hull for the manual pump mirrors the location of the engine exhaust, but on the other side of the boat (other side of the rudder).
At speed, this thing is probably underwater too! If you want to poke around my boat to get ideas, your welcome to make the trip down to "South County" -Keith -----Original Message----- From: Joel Aronson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 10:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Thru Hulls/seacocks Keith, I've got an 83 35/3. I wonder if your valves are original. My electric bilge pump discharges near the toe rail, but the manual under the setee is the issue. I'll end up with a set up similar to yours. All it takes is time and money! Joel On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Morgenstern, Keith E CIV SEA 08 NR <[email protected]> wrote: What year is your boat? It would strike me as odd if they made a change in the 35-3 line such as this. My 35-3 (1987) has the marelon valves in the bow. One for seawater intake for the head, one big one for overboard discharge of the head, and another added later for the A/C. My bilge pump and shower drain pump both discharge up near the toe rail on the port side. The hoses run from the pumps (both in the enclosure at the forward end of the U-shaped setee), forward into the cabinet under the sink in the head, then up the hull to the discharge. The valves are accessible in the locker in the head. -Keith Morgenstern -----Original Message----- From: Joel Aronson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 16:51 To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Thru Hulls/seacocks Thanks to you guys, my summer projects are done! Its nice to see through my hatches and lean against my life-lines without worrying about their condition. In the bow of my boat I have 2 seacocks that are a plunger type with a T handle on a rod. When closed they are flush with the bottom. they passed the survey, but I'm wondering how to service them and whether they should be replaced with a traditional seacock. Also, the discharge for my emergency bilge pump is through one of the seacocks (along with the intake for the head). Shouldn't that be above the water line? -- Joel 301 541 8551 <tel:301%20541%208551> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected] -- Joel 301 541 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
