I can see some almost neurotic logic to having two large manual pumps – redundancy if one fails or just having a lot of capacity in case you really need to dewater in an emergency. (I actually have a Whale Gusher in the garage that I plan to take aboard as a portable emergency pump when I go cruising.)
But having two pumps on the same hose makes no sense. What if one pump fails? That could make redundant pumps absolutely useless. I suspect the suggestion that there were originally two separate pumps with two hoses and two through hulls is the correct answer ….. and the best practice.

The pump is a large manual Whale like pump which is pretty oversize for a shower and not electric either. It pumps through a large diameter vinyl with metal reinforcement hose directly to the cockpit manual pump Wade On Tue, May 1, 2018, 05:55 Bruno Lachance via CnC-List, <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: The pump under the port sette could be the « shower » sump pump. Does the hose goes that way? Mine exits on the port side.

As well as the electric bilge pump I have the usual Manual bilge pump in the cockpit. In addition, there is another manual bilge pump in the cabin mounted under the Port side settee along the forward bulkhead. This cabin bulge pump hose runs to the cockpit bilge pump which then discharges to a through hull just under the transom. The curious part is that there are two thru hulls, side by side under the transom. The second thru hull has a bilge hose which runs forward and dead ends in the bilge with no pump or fittings between the ends. No other 33 MK II in my harbour has this second through hull or "dead end" hose. Does anyone know why this hose is present? many thanks, Wade _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
