Re: Manual Bilge Pump instalation
Mine is mounted in the starboard cockpit locker against the cockpit side. The outlet is in the transom so the suction, which is in the bilge next to centreboard case, is inline with the pump and outlet. That's where it was when I bought it and I thought operation would be awkward but its fine
