Hey listers, I know I have been posting lots of questions recently, so thank you for your insight and suggestions. It's much appreciated.
My 1976 C&C 30mki accumulates water in a forward bilge compartment that is very hard to access. My bilge pump is aft of the mast step, and while it does a good job of pumping out that area, I routinely end up with a couple gallons of water in that forward bilge that I pump out by hand. I'd like to rig a utility pump or a bilge pump to suck the water out of that forward compartment. It would be nice if it was automatic, but a switch is fine too. The two setups I'm considering: 1 - I buy a very small bilge pump (ideally with an internal automatic switch) and try to squeeze it down there... possibly having to cut some of the cabin sole out and repair it <--- but I don't really want to do that. 2 - I buy a 12V utility pump and run a bilge hose down into that forward bilge and connect the outflow to my current bilge hose. I switch it on when water accumulates in there. Has anyone done anything like this? Anyone have a better solution for keeping that forward area dry? Ryan Nobody's Bargain 1976 C&C 30mki New York
