"don't understand what you mean by the "hose up". Are you talking about the forward bilge pump? Could you explain what that means? " There is a pump under the floor of the cabin. The outlet is just above the water line. You can see it in the photo on the web page just below the third upright in the rail. In rough sea the outlet will allow water to enter and go inside to the bilge. Raising the hose higher inside the locker in a loop helped keep some of the water out by getting it above the water line even more. Got a check valve but never installed it. Think a ball valve in the off position would work no matter how rough it got. would just have to get inside the locker to open the valve when you wanted to use the forward pump. Just one of those things I never got around to doing. | ||||
