Tx Bruce. This makes sense, I do get water coming up the drain when sailing briskly. Probably makes more sense to just live with uncoiling and pumping occasionally. Lee replied that he repurposed his unneeded seawater footpump/faucet for this. Mine has only one. Must be 33-2 variant week here on the list. I wonder how many were factory options vs evolutionary? (Like 2 water tanks, seawater in galley, drawers below berth, etc....)
