I have a 40 foot hull not unlike an albin. The bulkheads fore and aft of the engines are water tight up to about 6 inches above the engine stringers. I have a bilge pump in each of the three compartments. forward, engine room and aft. I have the shower sumps as well. I have high water alarms and carry a 2" portable electric pump as well. You should have more than one bilge pump. You should always have a plan B.
