Our bilge is shallow but not as shallow as a KCB model. I would install it low
in the keel stub. It would be best as low as you can and mine may be 1/4-1/2
inch off the bottom and it works fine. I would normally vacuum and sponge out
the bilge whenever it was above freezing but that was difficult to plan with a
normal work schedule. I installed it with epoxy and faired the garboard drain
so you would have to look hard to see it. I suppose you could use 5200 but I
don’t like using it. I had epoxy cure (temperature) issues so it isn’t as
smooth as it will be next April. I bought a nylon plug and kept the bronze plug
as a spare. There is no downside to this project and that’s why I should have
done it 20 years ago on our 1981 36 KCB too. Hopefully you can open the Dropbox
photos. If not let me know.
