The bilge Pump Debate

This is one arena where size does matter! And it very well may save your life one day. After too much thought and two measuring sessions I have come to a conclusion. I am going to put in a 4000GPH pump in the bilge replacing the 1500GPH, replace the 250GPH forward and replace with a 750GPH, and move the 250GPH low in the bilge to handle washing and rain run off. I wish I could fit a larger one foreword but just don't have the room, I may try and squeeze in a second 750 up there but will probably wait until haul out in May when I paint the bottom. I will add a length of wire and alligator clips to the 1500 when it comes out and keep it aboard as an emergency spare.
