Very interesting discussion...my LF38 came with a Jabsco WaterPuppy pump
mounted aft of the engine with a long hose and 90 degree strainer to the lowest
part of the blige...just aft of the mast. The bilge pump exit is just a few
feet up to port of the pump, just below the rubrail. A very effic
I put in an anti-backflow valve, but in an area of the bilge where it is easy
to get to (just under the floorboard). So, when it acts up, I can just take the
cap off the 'T' part of the valve and clean it out. Or, in the worst case, just
pull the whole thing - two hose clamps. I wanted the bilge
Here's a very expensive solution

The nice thing is that it can handle up to 8 (IIRC) different little
spaces. So pockets of water between stringers or below limber holes can be
removed.
Very low flow rate though so it is just a finishing touch type of system.

Mike, much of this you probably know but I figured I would chime in for
everyone else.
The PAR pump you have is a belt driven diaphram pump that relies on inlet
and outlet check valves. These are great little pumps that can be run dry
and self prime up to ~5 feet above the water level. It is abl
Nice product.
I had purchased a Rule 1500 autiomatic bilge pump to replace the manual
PAR 36680-2000 on our boat that had no float switch. Then I realized
the current pump has an extremely efficient pickup that takes almost all
of the water out of the bilge. Will be returning the Rule and h
Tom:
Your electronic bilge pump switch shouldn't be mounted to the bottom of the
bilge. Try lifting it a bit to see whether it solves your problem. If the
sensor on the switch is always in the water, it will never shut off, and the
bilge pump might not be getting the water low enough. These sw

far from a suitable anchorage.

Sounds like something is wrong with the pump. My check valve holds water
and the hose is propably as long as anyone's. The pump has no problem.

Dennis, et al; for the bilge, is there an alternative to having a long
discharge hose going to the stern? My pump works,

Dennis, et al; for the bilge, is there an alternative to having a long
discharge hose going to the stern? My pump works, and there has been a check
