Just about every North Pacific Fishing Vessel has a nice little, or maybe
not so little, HONDA Trash Pump aboard, with appropriate suction hoses,
strainers, and discharge hoses. It is considered REQUIRED Equipment by
most skippers. Can be used to keep the water in the fish hold
circulating, as well as keeping the water in the bildge from going over
the top of the engine.
