Very interesting discussion...my LF38 came with a Jabsco WaterPuppy pump
mounted aft of the engine with a long hose and 90 degree strainer to the lowest
part of the blige...just aft of the mast. The bilge pump exit is just a few
feet up to port of the pump, just below the rubrail. A very effic
wanted the bilge to be as dry as
possible because of the way the cross members are installed in a 30-1.

Here's a very expensive solution
http://www.aridbilge.com
The nice thing is that it can handle up to 8 (IIRC) different little
spaces. So pockets of water between stringers or below limber holes can be
removed.
Very low flow rate though so it is just a finishing touch type of system.

The 35-1 has a very shallow bilge with a small volume sump just behind and
under the mast step. Touche' has a 1500 GPH Rule bilge pump tucked tightly
into a space behind the mast step. It's a tight fit.
With a large capacity pump and a small volume bilge, the issue of pump
cycling is very real.

When I got the boat it had a Rule automatic pump that determined if
there was water by running on occasion and measuring if there is a
resistance to turn the impeller.. While it sounds smart in theory, in
practice the impeller gets gooked-up with normal

Tom:
Your electronic bilge pump switch shouldn't be mounted to the bottom of the
bilge. Try lifting it a bit to see whether it solves your problem. If the
sensor on the switch is always in the water, it will never shut off, and the
bilge pump might not be getting the water low enough. These sw
ut at least we were not
far from a suitable anchorage.

Sounds like something is wrong with the pump. My check valve holds water
and the hose is propably as long as anyone's. The pump has no problem.

Dennis, et al; for the bilge, is there an alternative to having a long
discharge hose going to the stern? My pump works,

Dennis, et al; for the bilge, is there an alternative to having a long
discharge hose going to the stern? My pump works, and there has been a check
valve put in by PO, but the long hose simply holds the water and the bilge pump
can't do its job... thanks
