While it would not be my choice, if you do decide to install a check valve, install it where you can get at it. They do stick shut sometimes, and for no obvious reason. Happened on a boat that I was crewing off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Nearly changed out the electric pump before we thought to check the check.

When the when the switch activates the bilge pump, the bilge is pumped relatively dry. However when the pump shuts off water flows back into the bilge and so the pump is running in an endless loop. I see my alternatives as installing a check valve or installing a different brand of switch. I believe I previously had a Johnson switch. any recommendations Joel 35/3 Annapolis -- Joel 301 541 8551 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
