    Thru hull bonding advice?

    I would think only if kept in the water at a marina,which are notorious for stray current. That is one of many things I hated about keeping my boats at a marina, most of the people there did not even know (or care) what amount of stray current they were throwing off. Love my trailer! James

    Bilge Pump Not sealed To Hull

    Bilge Pump Not sealed To Hull

    When I replace the "toy" pump that was on my 22, I also glued the pump down as well as the electronic switch. One more thing I did was carve up a plastic milk crate and wedged it in there to protect them. Not the greatest thing to use, but it works for now. James
