Hello,
Recently purchased a 1978 Cal 2-25 that has been meticulously maintained. The bilge pump's integrated float switch is failing and I would like to replace with a manual float switch which requires securing it to the bilge floor. The old unit was just "sitting" in the bottom of the bilge so there are no existing screws I can reference for length. Needless to say I'm a bit concerned about screwing into the bottom of the boat. Can anyone give me a safe screw length?
Thanks so much!
Dave
