Hello, my name is Todd and I am a new member. I recently purchased a 1978 C27. I am moving up from a Freedom Yachts F21. We are very excited about the new boat and more space for cruising with the kids. I am sure I will have many questions. First is does anyone know the brand and model of the manual bilge pump that mounts inside the port cockpit locker just in front of the motor well? The prior owner said it was bad and removed it to replace it but never got around to it. I have spent the past 2 mornings cleaning out the junk. Every compartment, locker, drawer, nook and crany was stuffed to the top. I bet I have taken over 600 lbs of useless stuff out of the boat. Lots of extra stuff and parts, but lots of garbage too. So now it's on to cleaning and then putting the 15% of needed items back onboard. I figure we will be sailing with a full crew lighter than the last owner had the boat sitting at the dock. Todd
