Damage significant enough to wipe out the entire pump platform would

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!

Who was it that said there was no bilge pump quite as good as a scared

(You sure have a lot of pumps.)
