Roving Bilge Pump

Picture43 Ltr/min roving bilge pump
Every so often we think that we finally have our boat completely dry, we encounter some water in an area of the bilge that is not easily being picked up by the automatic bilge pump, especially when the boat is heeling.

Either a leak on deck which needs resealing or an internally leaking hose, you name it! It is a constant battle to maintain a sailing vessel. And it usually happens while we under way.

For this very reason, as well as for any unforeseen emergencies, we’ve decided to add a “roving bilge pump” to Cool Change.

The new “roving bilge pump” is installed in the locker below the cockpit and accessible through the engine room. It features an 8 meter hose, so it can be used almost anywhere on the boat.

It already has proven its worth when one of the aircon overboard hoses came loose and pumped some 50 plus litres of seawater into our bilge. It only took a couple of minutes to pump it all over board thanks to this powerful pump.

Let us know via the comments button of what your solutions are for having a dry boat!
