Re: Stus-List Bilge pump capacity?

There is an article in the new Sail magazine. In it it says you would need something like 3000 gph capacity if a large hose broke. Joel On Thursday, April 14, 2016, John Pennie via CnC-List wrote: > Patrick > > Just to correct my earlier post - if you do go with a third

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump capacity?

Patrick, As others have said and that I can attest to, you will not save a boat with a 1-1/2” hole in it with a few bilge pumps. I just got back from working on the bilge pump upgrade to my boat. My goal is to have a small bilge pump to pull out the usual amount of water that ends up in the

You'll have a shockingly hard time keeping up with a 1.5 inch hole no matter what size bilge pump you have. Plugging the hole is always better. Its gonna sink if the seacock disintegrates while you're not there. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Apr 14, 2016 3:41 PM, "Patrick

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump capacity?

Patrick: I don't think anything will keep the boat afloat if a 1-1/2" thru hull disintegrated. I do understand your concern but given the difficulty have you considered adding a third pump slightly higher as an emergency pump? As you will be running new plumbing anywhere that is convenient

Stus-List Bilge pump capacity?

I've been debating my bilge pump plan for a few months now, and having trouble deciding. What have others here decided is sufficient pump capacity? I have two Rule 800s now and am considering upgrading one to an 1100 or 2000 gph, as a high water alarm. That will require upgrading the hose from
