[C320-list] Electric Bilge Pump Inline Filter - Good Idea?

[Tharrison]

I re-built the bilge pump. I have a details power point if you need it. 

I also put a screen filter just before the pump. It is just a twist off top. 

The only disadvantage - water between the bilge and the filter runs back into the bilge.
