My Skeeter (2005), only has one bilge pump. The float switch and manual switch on the dash go to the 800 gph Rule pump.
Anyone add a secondary pump? Looking for suggestions, I'd have to either drill another port on the rear transom deck or just have a loose hose in the bilge. Then if my auto bilge ever breaks I'd have to open the bilge hatch and pull that hose out.
I have added a 2nd manual bilge for customers by taping into the main bilge line that exits the boat with a T. You would need to install a back flow valve in that main line. This way...no new holes in your boat.

great idea. What did you use for a back flow preventer? I did a quick search on Amazon but didn't see anything really like I would need.Originally Posted by crank68
Another idea I had was to convert one of the pump=out connections to be just recirculate. Then use that stern port as a secondary bilge dump. I don't think I'll ever use the pumpout function on both livewell's
im also interested in this topic . bought a 2018 and was dumbfounded that a 60k boat only came with one bilge pump.
thx in advance!
will this work?

I like my idea better because you would need 2 backflow preventers. I would either change out the pump out valve to a straight recirculate or just dump the pump out line into the bilge.
