In Response To: Re: foward bilge pump (Walter Kaprielian)

Walter: Depending on the height of the thru hull, a A Tee may not work, as bilge pumps don't have check valves in them. Unless you are able to put a big riser loop in the big pump line between the big pump and the Tee, the water from the little pump would go straight back through the big pump(and vice versa when the big pump runs.) I think you may have the same problem with the Y. Maybe a riser loop and Tee it into the sink drain as a temporary solution until you can add a thru hull?

BTW are you on the morning Miami to PTY American flight?
