One important item that was not mentioned yet (I think) was the value of a high water alarm. We have one installed in our bilge just above the level of the bilge pump sump. It is the loudest thing I have ever heard on our boat short of the Kahlenbergs, or the Admiral when she's upset about a couple of boat dollars. We live aboard and closing thru hulls would be most impractical--think refrigeration, A/C, genny etc. the high water alarm helps to give a peaceful night's sleep. Howard
