And using the sink drain thru-hull, it means leaving that seacock open when you leave the boat.
In Response To: The bildge pump exit is normally above the waterline for reasons including that it gives you an indication of pumping

() Assuming this is a bilge level switched bilge pump. I had one set up that way, I never felt comfortable so moved it to a new above the WL through hull. I like leaving only two seacocks(cockpit drains) open when I leave the boat.
