OK, I think all the older Cigs are the same, the bilge pumps are mounted on a "plate" glassed in, sucks because you have to REALLY raise the front of the boat and still cannot get all water out of the bilge.... has anyone put tiny bilge pump in front of it? I was going to channel the center out but hate to disturb factory sealed glass that is 30 years old.

During the summer we just leave the little bit of water in the bilge. Come winter we use a wet dry vac to suck out all the residual. I wouldn't mess with the current setup if I were you.

that's why I was thinking of a small pump in front, just hate the water there is ALWAYS some even at home in drive on trailer... ( I pull every weekend)

We don't pull home, instead leave the boat on a trailer at Marina about 100' from the launch. Even if you have a small bilge pump in front of the plates it won't pump it all out. We just live with it.

Maybe you could modify your penis pump?

I just like to get as much water out I can the boat has never been redone, I wanna keep it that way lol

can you bring me yours??

Top guns have a small hose that goes to the back right at the bottom of the "v" connected to a pump on the bulkhead, comes on with the bilge pump switch

Diaphragm pump is commonly used to remove excess water left in the bilge that was not removed by common bilge pumps

Put this and Tim's response "can you bring me yours??" together and you get "I told you so"
