In Response To: foward bilge pump (Bill G)

I keep the bilge almost completely dry. Leave the middle (just aft. of cabin door) bilge pump as is with flot switch. Add a flojet or similar pump which does not siphon water back down outlet hose from pump. Inlet hose has brass "foot" which is flat. When I am done washing down boat, just run pump a couple of minitues and bildge is dry. Rule or similar bilge pumps allow water go back down thru pump from hose when plump is turned off. Thses pumps are not strong enough to use an inline antisypthon valve.
