Hey All,
Got an '73 ODay 22, now in a marina (!) so I want (need) to install an automatic bilge pump.
The Oday 22 has only a small round hole to fit a manual pump or other tube in, so a submersible design will not work.
I've already figured out how I think I want to hook it up:
Using PVC build a 90 degree pipe to go down into the hole, directed back under the cockpit to a pump. I'm going to remove the sink as part of an overall interior redesign, so I'll take over the sink thru-hill drain for the outlet. I'll build a small step to cover the pipe plus aid in stepping down into the cabin.
I've located what I believe to be a suitable pump:

Looking for feedback from other Oday 22 owners that already have a bilge pump - how is yours hooked up? See any problems with my plans?
Thanks!
