Two bilge pumps. Make sure that they are in good condition. I like the set-up of one little one down low - a 500gph for the normal stuff, than a bigger one up higher - as big as your budget and space will allow. If you have power for a battery maintainer you won't have to worry about dead battery's.

I am presuming your deck drains into the bilge somehow?
yep - 2 pumps, mine with 415 sits just fine even with 1 or 2 in the boat as long as everybody 2 and 4 footed doesn't want to stand in the back. Any wieght forward really helps but they do drain overboard and should always be left open, when at night or not attended.

I was planning on adding a second bilge pump. I am talking about the floor drains in the corners that drain out the bottom of the boat when its moving. None of them drain into the bilge. I have one drain hole in the center, just in front of splashwell, at floor level, that has been sealed up. Not sure if that originally drained into the bilge. EggSuckingDog - what do you mean by drains over the side and 415? Geoffrey
