Bilges - Purchase a drill pump #814

Open smr547 opened 6 months ago

smr547 commented 6 months ago

Could be a useful asset for cleaning bilges

Also consider a pond pump (12VDC of course). There's usually half a bucket full or less in bilges. A good super soaker sponge may also assist. But the drill attachment pump would work as long as the drill batteries remain charged.

What about this: DC12V Portable Metal Electric Submersible Fuel Water Oil Fluid Transfer Pump Not suitable for gasoline (transfer). or this Pump with switch

Bought this hand pump to pump out bilges, including oily water under engine. Cost $20. Could also be used to service engine and sail drive (pump out oil).
