Out The Stern
Pete, I installed an auto pump in the bilge underneath the square portion of the sole that lifts, just beside the dinette table leg. That seems to be the lowest part of the bilge and there's enough space. I can't remember the size and brand of the pump as its been in there about 8 years, but get a pretty good sized one, preferably with a 3-way switch for auto or manual. I ran the drain hose under the sole, through the cabinet under the sink; through the starboard cockpit locker and out the stern. Need to drill a few holes but none of them show except the stern and I used a nylon thru-hull fitting. As far as I know, the pump has never had to cycle in auto mode but I test it periodically to make sure it will. You will still have to sponge the sump out as the pump will not get the last 3/4~1" or so. Dick Vance H-25.5 "Honey Bear"
