Oh right. those little gushers come with a check valve. I may use one hose, I
was thinking I'd use 2 but, I'll figure it when I get there I suppose... Danny

If you are going to use 1 discharge hose you will need 2 check valves leading
to the Y. Otherwise, water will go back and forth.​ Joel

Hi Ryan, I just picked up a couple of these for a similar situation on my boat.

On my previous boat, I installed a switch in an area forward of the head and a
remote Whale Gusher Diaphragm pump and ran a hose down into the sump. It
worked well but I think If I were to do that again I'd use a switch like this
one. http://www.starmarinedepot.com/whale-electric-field-bilge-switch.html Danny

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?
