Adding an electrical bilge pump
wrote:
I have a manual bilge pump in a Newport 27, and
would like to add an automatic electric one.
What is the easiest way to do this? Can I use
(at least some) of the hoses that the mechanical
mount a "T" piece to the output and connect the two pumps there so that
they work pararll to one another ,ensure that the electrical pump has a
non-return valve
membrane pump uses?
The membrane pump is mounted in the back of the
cockpit.
Can I put both pumps on the same hose, i.e. can I pull
water through an electric (rule) pump when using the
manual, and can I push water through the membrane
pump with the rule?
If not, what is the next best/simplest setup?
Thanks for help and suggestions,
Chris
