Bilge pump????

[Cane Pole]

There is no room for the standard submerge type bilge pumps on my pontoon. I need sumtin that will lift water somewhat. I am not familiar with this stuff. I am leary of high pressure pumps. Open for some ideas.

How much water do you normally collect, and in what area, one of the 'toons??

[Cane Pole]

These are not sealed logs, so in a hard rain, I get maybe a gallon or so. I haven't looked for the leak area, but suspect the opening to battery area in the aft. I might get a hand pump, but I don't know the diameter of the pump. Seasense never responded to my email.

I just need a simple solution.

Is this the canepole I met? A simple solution like your steering. Lol. Whatever solution you come up with I know it will be the best , would a cover that goes over where the water is coming in work

Tom ... you might try one of those plastic siphon hose thingys. The one I have is 6' of hose, with the squeeze bellow head ... and the diameter of the hose is about 3/8"

Then you could patch up the leak hole with some marine silicone.

Your boat manufacturer might be able to advise you of a solution

Nope. No help there.

Tom, are you wanting to do this at the house or is it needed on the lake? Assuming you have a air compressor, you could get a air powered blow gun from harbor freight or auto parts store. These are made to spray cleaning solvent. It has a long small hose attached to the pickup side. Just put a stick on the end of hose to put in water. Hook air hose to gun, mash trigger and air velocity will pull the water out.

I am not sure cray. It is a nuisance more that anything. I looked at the self bailing plugs, but not sure they would work. The drain plug is above the trim tab, so it might not work.

I probably need a perm fix to shut my self up.

Ok, here is what you need. Ran one of these on a boat years ago and it worked fine.

Need your brain power working on more important stuff than drain plugs
