Very interesting discussion...my LF38 came with a Jabsco WaterPuppy pump mounted aft of the engine with a long hose and 90 degree strainer to the lowest part of the blige...just aft of the mast. The bilge pump exit is just a few feet up to port of the pump, just below the rubrail. A very efficient design...as long as there is not too much water coming in. I have had the Water Witch switch and the Water Witch Bilge Counter installed for the last few years. When I check the counter and it registers 34+ pump runs I know I have a problem..but the bilge only has < 1" of water. (it turns out that my water tanks had the problem..not water coming in from outside...thank goodness!). I would really like to add a 'Y' valve to the raw water intake to be able to use the engine as a pump...just in case...but the engine area is already pretty well stuffed and no good room exists for the valve.
