Bilge Pump and crane attachment point

[Bill Rea]

I just purchased a 1968 Capri 18. 1. Is there a bildge pump between the battery area and under the rear cockpit seat. I see a black hose running between the two.2. In the same area near the battery compartment, there is a large eye bolt with cabling. This appears to be for a crane for launching? What is it for?Thsnks for help,Bill Rea

Boy, that's an old C-18. Mine's a little newer...

I have a bilge pump, mounted just at the forward edge of the starboard cockpit locker, with the pickup going into the area aft of the battery compartment.And I have heard of people using the lifting point you mention, but never actually seen it done. Hopefully someone with actual experience will respond to that.Great little boat, hope you enjoy.
