subject:Bilge pumps
The SJ doesn't have a great place to mount a pump. Once you find that spot, run the intake hose to the lowest point of the bilge and put a strainer on it. The discharge line can be coiled out of the way until needed and then simply put over the side. I don't believe the lazarette is sealed off from the main bilge so one pump will do. Unless you have regular shore power available go with a manual pump. SJ's are usually not leakers so you will probably never have an opportunity to use it.
