[QUOTE="mtnwkr, post: 193377, member: 4651"] I see that just about every mod has a bilge pump. My tin doesn't leak a drop but I'm wondering if I should install one in case of swamping by a rogue wave. If the boat is swamped and only floating from the foam under the seats is a bilge pump going to do any good? I assume all the wiring and battery would be underwater by that point also. Thanks for any insight, just trying to build the safest boat I can as I'll be using it in the salt often where the weather and tides can turn quickly. Here's a pic because that's why were here right? ;) [img]https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5181/5548893874_e1f685e193_z.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
