Rummy, thanks for the response.  "The Rest of the
Story" as is now popular on the list is this:  My boat
is presently in the back yard awaiting slip space on
Pickwick Lake (coming soon).  I was out of town during
a week of rain and one of the cockpit drains near the
lazaret stopped up with leaves and the excess water
overflowed into the lazaret.  When I stepped on the
trailer to work on the boat it gently fell on its ass,
I mean transom.  No damage was done other than
embarrasment at being such a careless owner.  At the
risk of being paranoid, Murphy's Law and all, I'm
going to be pro-active and install a pump.  Besides,
I'm upgrading the electrical system and have an empty
circuit on the DC panel.  Speaking of electricity,
slip spaces are available at Pickwick much sooner
without electricity so that's the route I'm taking. I
purchased a Honda eu1000 generator, 26lbs, and am
incorporating it into the total ship energy package. 
Anyone else have experience with onboard generators on
a Rhodes 22?
