37 AVH Question
 

If water gets in the cabin under the floor- how do you get it out? I have looked at a couple and have not seen drains at the step. Can water get to that point?

I have been looking at them and am considering purchasing one. Thanks for the help.

There's a bilge pump in there.

That makes it easy. I look forward to joining the Cult......

It's more fun to back up real fast, and it will shoot out of the bow cleats.

Well I am Ready to Rock......

First stop - Smith Power.

How do you access the forward bilge pump? Mine is on a timer that whenever cabin power is on it cycles 5 mins or so. Supposed to be that way? Why not direct wired with a float? Thanks

It's a pricey little computerized bilge pump that is self contained. Where it is tough to get to vs. the bilge I thought less stuff to break was better. Yours should be an access hole under the pirelli on the lower step.

If you want to put a switch in you will probably find the wire running up to the galley panel.

Congrats on the pick-up! That boat has been discussed a lot lately. I saw it in KW and it looked good.

Wow that was fast, when you said you were looking you meant it! Cool.


I had a 22 DONZI that had a drain plug in the step,,,,,,,, amazing how much water gets there.

Congrats on the new boat!!

The race boat and a couple others have had drain plugs in the step, but they are not needed. As a backup to the bildge pump, you can stick a shop vac over the thru-hull and pull the water out that way as well.

I have mine wired to the power switch for my water pump. I didn't like it turning on every couple minutes when the cabin power was turned on.
