Hello.

The Rule 500 automatic bilge pump that came with my 1986 29-2 died.  Bought 
what I thought was an identical replacement (Rule-Mate Automatic Model 
RUL-RM500A).  The new pump is slightly larger than the original and won't fit 
on the floor of the bilge in the deepest forward part of the bilge because it 
catches the edge of the keel bolt.   The keel bolt is a couple inches high and 
it takes 2.5" of water depth for the pump to activate so there is always at 
least 4" of water sloshing around in the deepest part of the keel.

Any 29-2 owners have a recommendation for a pump that will fit the very 
confined space in front of the keel bolt?

Thanks.
