[C38] installing a bilge pump

[Don Strong]

Bruce: We have three bilge pumps.
The Rule 1500 gph and the Rule 3800 gph go via properly sized hoses 
directly to the exit ports in the stern; these have float switches
Would not "tee" because this would impede the flow.
The third pump is the smallest Rule, which we use to get the smallest 
residuum out of the bilge. Its hose is directed to the sink through hull.
Discreet Charm is a 1980 model. Last year the stern tube of the hull 
cracked and caused the hose of the packing gland for the propeller shaft 
to come loose. Only the pair of big rules saved the boat.
Big repair job.

Regards, Don Strong

C38 #50
Emery Cove, San Francisco Bay

PS I greatly enjoyed your films, back in the day.
