Where is the best place to have a bilge type pump. I sometimes get water in cockpit port lassereth usually just rain water, thought I could crawl to transom and install pump and cut out access hole above cockpit rear drain on back of port lassereth. Any ideas helpful. Thanks

Mine was below the cockpit. Pretty useless since that area seems to be higher than the bilge in the cabin. If you can get it all hooked up the keelbolt wells and the lazarette would be ideal since that’s where everyone’s water ends up.

Thanks. had an earlier post about water in port lazzerth and keel below floor boards, boat is on trailer. Thought should not get any water from rain there. Someone said to check drain hose in anchor locker. Looks like a pain to remove bolts. I guess it is what it is. Going to pour a gallon of water in there and see if I get a gallon of water out.

Yep. Changing the anchor locker hose is an absolute pain. Change is imperative. An absolute must. And unavoidable. Unless you’re Baptist.
