Lee, if he is right Note that a mere 2-inch-diameter hole 3 feet below the waterline will let in 69 gallons a minute, or more than 4,000 gallons an hour.
and my pump is 4 gpm and I use both manual pumps I'm still screwed! Joel Sent from my iPad On Dec 2, 2012, at 7:54 PM, Lee Youngblood <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Joel, Your job is not to need it! Read John Vigors blog from November 27, 2012 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 sv Simplicity A 1974 C&C 35-II in Seattle rain. 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. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C51%7C299222%7C84462%7C316440&id=1579952 If anyone else has one working I'd be interested if it was an OK choice! sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta On 2012-12-02, at 4:32 PM, Joel Aronson <[email protected]> wrote: 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?
