Mark, if you Y-connect it to the existing bilge pump discharge, don't you worry about water going back into the bilge via the other hose? Now a stupid(?) question to the list: can you connect a bilge pump in series (i.e. to the same discharge hose, one pump at the bilge to keep it dry, the

Josh, you said: “The throttle lever slips a little so after extended operation the rpms creep down and I'll have to re-throttle up. “ You know that there is a little (actually not so little, it is 1/2” or 13 mm hex head in my case) bolt that you can adjust to stop the throttle lever from

My throttle cable has a little U shaped metal device with a 13mm (1/2) bolt but it is located mid-way on the cable - very easy to get at. A little twist stopped my throttle slippage. Gary - Original Message - From: Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent:

Marek I think it is best if the automatic electric bilge pump exits high near the toe rail and before exiting a complete loop in the hose is a good idea and as suggested a check valve nearer the bilge can help too, that way when the pump shuts down all the water remaining in the hose won't flow

I have a similar setup. As the big hose from the Whale Gusher runs from the bilge to a point just under the toe rail on the Port side of the boat near the wheel, I ran the little 3/4 smooth hose from the little one right next to it and exited at the same altitude. Didn't have to create a new
