I'd like to put an automatic bilge pump on my newly purchased J/30. I've read a few posts on this form which mention that it is tough to find a pump that fits.

I'm away from my boat and wondering if someone could suggest a pump that fits and is recommended.

Thanks!

Send me an email (address in header) and I'll forward info on the electric bilge pump installation on Rhapsody. Mark Rotsky did a similar install on Nemisis and gave me the idea on how to do this.

Why not do one of your great photo essays so we can all see? I have an auto bilge pump in quicksilver but i'm not really happy with the install. --Steve

Ok Steve - you shamed me into it. Go to this link and then click on the link labeled "Rhapsody Electric Bilge Pump Installation".
