Thanx James, that’s good to know. I only have one manual bilge dash switch. This spring I’ll tear it all down and replace the port bilge and reroute the bilge hoses. Thanx again everyone for all the help.

Thanx Dave and Bob, all good answers. I guess my question was mainly to anyone who might have around a 2000 24’ Tomcat wheather the boat was origanlly wired for both bilges to be automatic or both to just run off thr starboard automatic bilge pump. I’ll be checking this out in the spring and...

Any way the water in the port sponson has to be salt water as my fresh water tank is in the starboard sponson. Anchor well, I don’t seem to get any water...

Howdy, long time boater, new to f/g Tom Cats. Question on water in starboard sponson. I live in Alaska and fish out of Homer. I run the boat about 25 miles to Port Graham and end up pumping about 40 to 50 gallons of water out of the port sponson. The starboard sponson is dry. Anchor, fish for a...
