Damage significant enough to wipe out the entire pump platform would
damage the hull so much that no pump could save the boat but I forgot to
mention a 2000gph Rule forward, a 3700gph aft and an Edson manual under
the cockpit.

Oh yea, and then there is the 5300 gph 110V submersible with 50' of 2"
discharge hose back in the lazerette for last ditch efforts.

Like I said, to d**ned many pumps!

Sure thats a great plan?

Having searched for hours for nonfunctioning pumps on deliveries I
decided to put all my pumps on one centrally located platform under the
salon sole. There are two fresh water pumps, one salt water wash down
pump, one air conditioner cooling water pump, one fuel transfer pump,
one Jabsco Sea Gulp bilge pump and a grey water pump. Only the waste
pump, high pressure anchor sprayer and oil change pump are off the
platform.

Now I have to add a booster pump for the watermaker pump. Has anyone
ever used the washdown pump as a watermaker boost pump?
