I hated to do it, but I winterized the old Atomic 4 today. Like Chuck said, 70 degrees but no air . Now I'm hoping for cold weather with no snow to get the DN out a few times this year, unlike last year.

I checked the boat after work; tightened the stands, and removed the old zinc, pumped the bilge, and had a couple of beers in a Tee shirt, before the sun set and I headed home.

BTW, its 70 degrees out. What the hell am I doing at work? I should be aboard The Office!

When we woke up to water about an inch from the bunks last spring, the manual pump – with a motivated operator LOL – pumped more water than the 2 electrics combined.

I don't know how long I could last operating either of my manual pumps! They have NO specs on the electric. Go figure!

You have the “routine” pumps at the low spots and the biggest one you can afford/fit for emergencies. It does not need to be at a low point – just low enough to do some good. 500 GPH pumps fit between my keel bolts and down the sump, but both of them together could never keep up with one hose off a seacock. I am rigging the ”big pump” with a loud alarm too.
