Just purchased a 1980 Hunter 25; am fixing some odds and ends and gearing up for maiden voyage.
I have a question regarding the bilge. It has a small bilge area in the cabin accessed by two wood panels; there is no pump on this boat (and from the old schematics it didnt come with one from the factory). It also has a thru-hull fitting at the rear of the cockpit that discharges at the stern.
What about the rest of the water?!? For instance, Hunter did very well with cockpit storage in the hatches. When you stick your head here you see the thru hull pipe from the cockpit drain. Below it is a channel that seems to run toward the bow, but SEEMS to be deeper than the aforementioned floor bilge. Is my depth wrong?!? Do the hatches run to the floor area bilge?
Has anyone ever put a pump in this bilge area? Its's rather shallow and likely wouldn't fit much. Where did you run your discharge hose?
