Last year( it wasn't that long ago) I installed an low profile automatic Rule bilge pump, as my boat only had a manual pump. I routed the hose through the seat base, along one of the two water tanks, through the bulkhead base and coupled it to the head sink through hull. Roughly 12 ft. What I didn't realize is the shower floor pump (now removed due to it being broken) also used the same through hull. I'm thinking an additional through hull solely for the bilge, enabling a shorter length of hole, less traveling and maybe a little more efficient. Also as part "Deux" to the question, while I have your attention, is where should I drill the hole for the through hull? At the same level as the one for the head sink? So once again, all ye merry men and women of the sailboat owners forum, you are invited to give me your perspective on the matter and I thank you in advance.
Oh by the way, I finally got to install the auto/manual bilge switch. Do you know they sell the whole unit, provide you with three female connectors, but you have to spend extra to get a fuse.
I have it mounted above my DC distribution panel, but directly powered from the battery.
