While we're having so many conversations on bilge pumps, I have another question for you. I picked up a project '73 30' MK 1. There is a float switch in the bilge, right under the forward access hole. There are wires leading forward through the bilge toward the mast, as well as a hose that leads out of the bilge, around the head, up the wall by the holding tank, and out through a drain at the top of the hull (I had assumed it to be a vent previously). I have reached up through the bilge as far as I can, put a camera in there and took some pictures, used a mirror and flashlight, everything I could think of (I don't have a borescope), but I can't find the pump or the end of the hose/wires. Does anybody know how to access the pump and whether it is screwed down? It almost has to be forward of the mast, but I can't reach it. I don't want to pull too hard on the hose, but I need to find the pump and see what kind of shape it is in. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve
