BILGE PUMPS
Sorry to go over some old ground, but I would be interested in hearing whether or not the various members have automatic bilge pumps in their boats. I have a Santana 35, 1980 model, that I just bought, and it has never had one. That seems to suggest that one is not necessary (the actual bilges are no deeper than your fist) but having an automatic bilge pump seems like good counsel. I have this recurring nightmare of walking down the pier with five friends in tow and being able to board the boat at the spreaders. What''s the general consensus?
