Now that's using the old noggin. Very clever idea that I hope future builders will see and repeat.

Thanks, I'm pleased with it, too. Anything to make bilge pump management easier.

What brand pump is that? Never seen one like it.

Waiting on the epoxy on the sole pieces to cure a bit more, I did a dry run at a hatch cutout with my router to get a sense of how many passes I'd need to make, etc.

Then decided to test an idea to add a seal with some 1/4" rubber tubing, less for sealing and more for preventing chatter. The tube walls are only about 1/16" thick - good for being malleable, but may not hold up so I may look for something with thicker walls. On the other hand, shouldn't get lots of direct wear. As always, I welcome your thoughts and recommendations.

That's a great idea! Homemade gasket. Perfect.

Whale Supersub low profile pump. 1100 gph. They make one with a built-in sensor, but while Whale pumps have a decent reputation their sensors don't. Thus I'm using the plain pump and a Johnson sensor.

Perfect. I’m lovin’ the pump cradle, it’s a brilliant solution.
