[Rhodes22-list] Bilge Pump Questions

[Graham Stewart]

My boat came with a bilge pump that drains to a separate thru-hull although I don't know that was necessary so long as there is room to make the connection to the sink drain. I have never used the bilge pump in any serious way but I do feel a bit safer knowing that it is there. I have never used my life jackets either.

Lots of Rhodes without bilge pumps. Is your bilge actually wet and do you
need a pump?
