I'm constantly inspired by this forum, and am really enjoying it so far! I think the enthusiasm among the members is the best part...it's infectious! I had winterized my boat with the intention of doing more work on it when the ice starts to thaw...but MAN, this forum has rearranged my priorities! I'm headlong into the trolling motor project, and will be (hopefully) doing a test-fit this weekend. I have a question re: Bilge pumps now, wondering if anyone would like to chime in...?
My C40 is a little...how might you say, "thirsty" :roll: when it comes to fuel comsumption. Either that, or I'm opening it up a little too often. Either way, with the size of the boat, I can only fit about a 5 gallon tank in the back. I keep a smaller, spare tank on the other size, sitting upright...cozied-up to the battery. I've only had to turn to it once, but I was glad it was there! Anyhow, with all that fuel sitting back there, there is very little room for a bildge..but I'd love to have a small one back there. There is a slow leak (somewhere) that I plan on trying to address, but a bildge has it's place either way. So, short story long, can anyone suggest a pump/set-up that's "lean and mean"...small, slim etc.
Thanks so much,
Rob
