This boat does not have any sort of manual bilge pump.
We currently have it on a trailer while updating some other issues and notice that every time in rains here on the West Coast of FL summer downpours there is water throughout the v-Berth Cavity, under the forward Dinette seat and along the keel housing. I bailed 4-Wash Buckets of water out just after the last rain and have no idea where it is coming from.
The Pop-Top ,Forward Hatch and Companion way are down tightly. The leak must be coming from the deck and yet no evidence as to from where.
After crawling around the entire boat pumping water out of all the compartments, I still can't determine where an Electric Bilge Pump would be placed. You would think it was aft in a deepest location and yet most of the the water in in the Forward Berth Cavity.
This under the Forward V-Berth Cavity being full of water and not flowing back to the lowest bilge elevation may be due to the boat on a trailer that is not level as if in the water. Regardless, if I could get the boat level where would I expect a bilge pump be placed. Secondly , any suggestions as to where the water is coming form while on a trailer and not in the water.
Saw a fey Cockpit drain comments that the bulkhead. This boats cockpit floor drains out the rear, not in drains placed forward.
Your thoughts, opinions and suggestions would be certainly appreciated.
