Below deck bilge pump
Please recommend a bilge pump for 20 ft. CC. Below deck will be sealed and short of a catastrophe, it should not be subject to flooding. Right?

Re: Below deck bilge pump
Dabbler,
Aside from the normal water leaks down through the access doors, there shouldn't be much water down there except, like you said, in catastophes. If that day comes, the bigger that pump is, the longer you will take to sink.
From there the decision is just a matter of space and budget.

Thanks. I'm still learning to use the forum. I also looked back at other post on "bilge pumps" and gained a little more insight. I am going to order from Overton's tonight and go with a mix of volumn vs price. I am trying to get everything back together to GO FISHING NOW. Reds where thick just North of Suwannee this past week-end. Thanks again OO.
