Bilge pump system Mac 22

Post by jtis1 »

I have read a bunch of posts on bilge pump systems here but have not seen one for the MAC 22. I don't have one presently, but am keeping it at a slip now and would like to put two auto pumps in along with a solar panel to keep the battery charged. Can anyone give me a layout for a system you have used successfully on this model boat? Thanks

One suggestion I can give is to make the outlet hose go to the footwell in the cockpit. Water drains out the existing drain & you don't need to add a through-hull.
