Hi Joel,

How fast will you sink?   http://www.johnvigor.com/Blog.html

Sometimes I think pumps are like "psychological placements" when rock climbing, you put them in when you can, and it helps to think you tried, but you know it won't stop you if you fall. I zippered six or eith pitons in the old days, and was saved by my partner. I landed on top of him, and he was hurt a lot more than me. Oops.

Usually color of the pump doesn't matter, just get the biggest one that will fit, and install well.

Good Luck, Lee

Joel,

I bought one of these (I haven't fitted it yet) it has a built in electronic float switch and will fit between my keel bolts.

If anyone else has one working I'd be interested if it was an OK choice!

 The bilge pump on my 35/3 is under the forward dinette seat.  A hose
 leads to a strainer in the forward sump just behind the mast.  I'd
 like to replace it with a higher volume pump, but I can't find one
 that will fit in the bilge compartment next to the keel bolt without
 spending ridiculous amounts of money.  Any recommendations?
