You may need to install one of these to gain access to install a pump

how hard will that be to do?
or where would be a good place?

Re: bilge pump ideas

Toward the rear of the boat,or the lowest part of it. You will be cutting in the floor,but them hatches are made for stepping on,cant say what you will be cutting in to but make absolutely shure you are not cutting into a gas tank area or electrical. And be shure you seal any edges of core material,and the hatch itself. You can get by with a smaller one,I just showed an example of what could be used.For me it's not that hard, it's more intimidating than it look's,once you cut a hole in a boat it's there. Unless ya know how to fix it properly.
