Make a great emergency backup from a manual bilge pump

This week we look at having a very effective and high volume water extraction tool on your boat. You can pick one up for an inexpensive amount of money and they move a lot of water fairly quick (about 17 gallons per minute). It may exhaust you, but it will move the water in an emergency. There is that old saying, there is no better bilge pump than a scared sailor with a bucket. Not true, this is pretty darn effective as well and portable when needed. Links to buy new pumps here, but you can also find them at local swap meets near local boating hot beds. Just pop into a large marina and ask if they do boater swap meets. Chances are there are a couple per year in your area. Think of it like a large garage sale of just boat stuff.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
