Re: Hi, newbie here
I'm curious on the "bilge pump below water tanks". I had a 3607 too. Are you referring to the water tanks under the aft berth? Where was the pump under there? Mine didn't have a bilge pump in the aft section, but I had thought of putting one in there several times. I probably would have put it back by the rudder posts, as that was the only accessible place but it wouldn't have been the lowest part of that bilge. Would have been fine while up on plane though.
