[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 165482, member: 801"] A dumb question is one not asked!!! or a dumb question beat swimming back to the dock. I grew up with a simple milk jug with the top cut out for a bailing bucket. I personally have put bilge pumps in all my boats the last few years. Thankfully my last few boats never leaked enough for a bilge pump to pick up. The need for them has derived from the torrential afternoon thunder storms we get here on the gulf coast. It can put 6" of water in your boat in a few minutes. I've also gotton about 6" of water in my boat from nose plowing through a wave caused by idiots skiing. In my 14', I didn't mount the bilge pump. It stays in an compartment. If I need it, I pull it out. [/QUOTE]
