How would you install a second bildge pump ... Can you use the same hose as the pump is on now ? To run both ? And what size for a 36 trawler ... Thanks

Re: Bildge pumps

Re: Bildge pumps
Agreed. But, if you have to use the same discharge it can be done but it's really easier to just add another thru-hull. If staying with the single thru-hull fitting, the two pump hoses must flow up to the highest point possible (vented loop) then flow down to the thru-hull fitting. The two hoses need to come together into a Y fitting, not a T fitting. Then the single hose from the Y can flow down to the thru-hull fitting. This allows water to flow drain down and out the thru-hull
and not back through the other pump. And certainly don't use the same 12V feed.
