Bilge Pump

After the apres race festivities, I decided I was going to sleep on Still Time.
Got back to the boat a little after 10pm.

Decided to check the bilge; IT WAS FULL.
Checked the back, and there was between four and six inches of water under the cockpit!

The little bilge pump (actually an aquarium pump with a 3/8" line) tooks its time draining all that water.
This little bildge pump does not have a float switch.
I was worried she was taking on more water.
But alas, at 4am, the last of the bilge water went through the through hull.

Checked the port settee, and it had 8" of water in it.
This locker is not connected to the bilge.
Therefore the water is NOT comming up through the keel bolts.
Think I may have a leaky deck joint.
It leaks when it rains and/or is sailed hard.

Installed a proper Atwood 500 GPM bilge pump with a 3/4" hose.
Man this thing empties the bilge in a hurry!
Still need the little one to get rid of the last bit of bilge water.
Also installed a foot valve on the big pump because it would shut off and the 3 or 4 gallons in the line would go back into the bilge.

Still Tim is NUKED, need to spend Friday night cleaning her up for the weekend cruise to Cobourg.
