Bilge pump ??
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 7:39 pm
I have a Metor Mk 1, it has a manual brass bilge pump (which works well and is nice and shiny ) in the engine box with a small peice of 3/4 inch pipe going to an outlet on the port side,as my boat is undergoing a bit of re-finishing i have installed an electronic automatic pump,because if when i needed to use the manual pump i would have to pull off the top of the engine box to gain access to it.
What i want to do is have both plumped up and ready to work/use using the existing the existing outlet,is it a case of just inserting a T piece after the manual pump or is it best to by pass the original pump with the electronic pump and fresh pipework? TIA Mel.
