[C320-list] Rule 1100 Bilge Pumps Revisited.

[jackbrennan]

I couldn't find an alternate route for the bilge pump hose. I found that a Rule 800 fits in the bilge section next to the mast, where the pickup hose was for my old, remotely mounted pump.
What I did for emergency pump capacity was rig up a 2000 gph bilge pump with about 15 or 20 feet of hose and electric cable that ends with alligator clips.
If the unthinkable happens, I clip the pump to the house bank and route the hose into the cockpit.
Best of all, you can lend it to another boat having problems.
