[QUOTE="richg99, post: 452113, member: 4376"] Hmmm....it happens that I have the same issue with my Marpac pump (bought due to Dale's earlier suggestion). It is mounted on a 3/4 inch block in the stern of my 16 ft G3. The water has to get pretty high before the pump switches on. The stern of the craft is at a severe angle before she starts pumping. When I am around, I jump aboard and stand at the stern and manually run the pump. But, it is when we travel, leave for a day or two etc. that I worry. Of course, I can pull the boat out and leave it in the dry storage area with proper planning. That just creates more work if we decide to go away on a short notice. Sure wish there was a way to mount the pump dead on the bottom, without gluing it in permanently. On my 1756 Lowe, kept in Texas, I added the Johnson no-float switch. Keep up the good suggestions, Dale H. [/QUOTE]
