In Response To: Pump Pic (pic) (Blaine)

3rd & 4th picture in under CM26 modifications on the link to "My Photos" I put a guard over it so the float switch would not get fouled. Also, underneath it is a garboard drain plug. This allows me to easily drain dry whenever I want to. The thru bolts I used to mount the drain are extended up enough to mount an aluminum plate to which the pump is mounted. The pump snaps off its mount with a twist (mosta ll are like that for cleaning). The output goes to the transom and the tubing has a one way check valve in it because its an uplift to get the water out, this keeps me drier.

2 years with a dry boat.... finally. Good luck.
