Bilge & Water pump

The bilge on the h25.5 is small - only about 6" deep and located under a panel in the center of the cabin sole.My 25.5 has manual water at the sinks but the only place I could think of to put an elect pump is near the fresh water holding tank outlet. It is in the rear berth - under the mattress - under a wooden panel nearest the starboard side. Good luck. --Stan

No Pump

Brad,The 25.5 has no bilge pump, at least in the outboard models. I added a pump with built-in automatic float switch which discharges through a hose led to the stern. I located the pump underneath the square lift up section of the cabin sole, next to the dinette. This is the lowest point of the bilge. You will have to drill a few holes to run the discharge hose. I ran mine under the floor; under the sink and through the stern cockpit locker out a through-hull in the stern, located above the cockpit floor level. Be sure of the height of the pump you choose so that it will fit under the cabin sole.Dick VanceH-25.5 "Honey Bear"
