I have a 26’. The pump works but I have found that a long manual pump placed in 
the bilge itself with the outflow hose pointed into a nearby 5-gallon bucket 
was less (pumping) work and quicker. Having said that, hauling a five-gallon 
bucket (repeatedly) up the steps in order to dump it into the cockpit provides 
some serious weight lifting exercise. Plus, there is the imperative to not to 
slosh any of the brown water with dead wasps onto the galley area while 
ascending the ladder with the bucket.

Accordingly, choose your preferred form of exercise: outside repetitive arm 
movement or inside lower-back weight lifting.
