Without using a "dry bilge" system, which make/model of automatic bilge pump will keep the water at the lowest possible level?
I'm fairly certain now that the low point in our MT Sundeck is the area right under the black water tank - basically about where the bulkhead/door is on the forward side of the galley - near the entrance to the v-berth.
Of course, the old pump and float switch are mounted closer to the engine room - probably because there's not a lot of space under the black tank - and as a result, any rainwater that manages to get into the bilge collects farther forward than the pump can reach - PLUS - the pump only gets it down to about 3" of water - and that's still too much. I'd like to get as much water out as I possibly can.
I've been looking at the Rule Low Pro and the Whale Supersub - both look like they would fit under the tank. Anyone have any experience with either?
