No water in the bilge for the bilge pumps to pump out. I've got two
bilge pumps in my Parker, and they never get any exercise unless while
the boat is on the trailer and the bow is up in the air, I pour a couple
of buckets of water into the bilge. I use a lot of water to wash out the
boat after each use, and the bilge is always bone dry afterwards. I
know, because I keep an eye on the drain plug opening.
You are still completely disconnected from the subject.

Sorry. I guess I'm too oblique here.

I hesitate to get in a fight but I believe they are asking what you do
when the keel of your dry bilge is in the sunlight.

Sit on the part of the boat that is in the sunlight and hope for a
rescue. What would you do?
