Eric — when I redid my windows last year, it was 1/4” from the previous owner that was part of the cause of the failure. You really need to use thicker acrylic (NOT Lexan…); I ended up with 9mm (just under 3/8”) and it worked well. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfa

Mike — part of the reason to use a backing block is to make sure you have a flat spot in the rounded hull to mount the transducer; it’s not so much for reinforcement. It also gives you more of the shaft of the transducer to seal with whatever goop you use as a sealant; I use LifeSeal when I ins

The best emergency pump is one where you can bring the pump to the problem. If the pick up for the pump is midships or further aft and a hull breech is in the bow, the ship is likely to start sinking bow first and raising the pickup well above the rising water. This is not uncommon when sailb

Joe, I'm a big believer in bilge pumps. Pegathy has 2, 2000 gph each, on separate float switches and separate toggle switches. I've had pumps fail many times, for unknown reasons. More than increasing your capacity, I'd recommend installing a spare pump with the float switch set slightly higher

IMHO: There are two kinds of bilge pumps. 1 - routine: These get the standard daily leaks. Capacity is not important, being able to be mounted low down and being reliable is. For a modern fiberglass boat, you have an issue if even the smallest pump is running all the time at the dock or underway
