In Response To: Shower water into the bilge? ()
that didn't work out. Gulper type pump that seized up after a year. Custom sump with own pump that clogged up too easily. In the end I gave up and went back to the original setup. I am still using the original bilge pump on a 28 Y.O boat. The spare has been sitting in a locker since before I bought the boat.

- You should, beyond a fuse, be able to kill the power delivered from the batteries to ALL devices downstream
- SG thank you for your input

- A fuse that is above the cockpit sole would be a good idea.
- Gene, I would install a switch and a fuse
- Alarm and counter too...
