Bought the Honda pump for offshore emergencies when I had a sailboat. Test it at the beginnig of the season, run it dry and stow it. Moves lots of water fast. The Pacific Trawler has very shallow bilges so it'll also come in handy should the need arise. Because of the shallow bilges, I plan on installing dedicated high water alarm with an external noise maker and internet/cell notifications. The previous photos just moved this project to number 1.
