Not crazy, but how old are your through hulls, sea cocks and hoses? Are
your hoses held up with seizing wire so if the sink connections crack
the hose won't fall down below the waterline? Do you have any red brass
nipples connecting sea cocks to bronze T's to share hose fittings?
That's the stuff I worry about, because I might be gone if they fail.
Speaking of boats sinking at the dock, we had another one here the other
day. The locals were trying to raise it with empty 55 gallon drums --
except the drums weren't empty. The smell of solvent was overwhelming
from 100 yards away, and I looked over to see them dumping the remaining
contents into the marina water. Great. I walked over to complain, but
they couldn't speak English and insisted it was just aqua. The drums
were covered with warnings from 'flammable' to 'do not inhale fumes.'
Funny how they were doing it on a national holiday, when the port
captain was gone and the marina security was on a skeleton staff.

I don’t have an electric automatic bilge pump. I just have my Whale gusher. I
have never found much water in the boat even after extended time on the
mooring. Usually just a short turn (maybe 10 pumps) at the pump handle empties
it out. Am I crazy?
