Started my fishbox drain project today,picked up an 8" pie plate cut the opening and drilled the hole on the bottom for the pump.Putting in the pie plate alone is a good idea as it gives good acsess to the bilge pump.Using the existing pump and screen as is there is still going to be about a 1/2" of water left in the box,way better than before,but not good enough.I was thinking about installing a drain like this one http://www.marineeast.com/a_sch/sch_det ... &pid=02_07and using some fittings and hose to hook to the pump.Any ideas would be welcome.Thanks!Qualified Engine dept member,Pete
Got all my parts and started to work some more on the fishbox,pretty happy with the results,did a test before I hard mounted everything,it left about a 1/4" inch of water in the box versus the 2 " before the mod here are some pics...acsess to bilge pump
can't take all the credit,seabob was my inspiration on this one,he gave me some great ideas
