[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 366008, member: 13599"] why mount it permanently at all ??? Just have long leads made up so you can move it anywhere in the boat that is needed. Store it out of the way in a cubbyhole. Rubber hose long enough to go over the side. Like you said, you don't have any serious leaks, and if it is raining that hard, you would probably be heading to the dock anyway. It's not a Mission to Mars, it's a BOAT. #-o oh, my drain plug is on the bottom in the middle at the transom. Underneath the boat, is like a scoop so when the boat is on plane, you can remove the drain plug and the water will be sucked out rather quickly. So that is your option #2 if your bilge pump fails. #3 is your bailing bucket.. [/QUOTE]
