Bilge Pump?

[M.M.]

Do thye have a sort of thing that will pump out or sifen the water out of your hull?

[Rumdog]

Autobailer, get one here on ose. Shouldn't have water in a fe boat though.

[M.M.]

Ok, i just have a problem with water coming up through the teflon stuffing tube and im afraid of too much water coming in.

[ozzie-crawl]

some boats seem to pull more threw than others always found by adding a fair amount of grease fixed it for me

[Rumdog]

Grease should help out for sure. if it's still syphoning in water drop a lil' sponge by the stuffing tube so that little bit of water gets trapped and doesn't flow around the hull.

[ozzie-crawl]

yes the sponge works well. i dont use grease as such but a product called lanotec (made from lanolin) its water proof and used in high temp high pressure machinery. works great and never had any rust on my flex cables.

[M.M.]

OK, i will try filling the tube with grease. Gotta have a well lubed shaft. :iagree:
