Marinette Boat Forum

Thanks to all. I added a small diaphragm style pump mid cabin. It gets almost all the water that the bilge pump.can't.

I do understand the concept of bulkheads. I was trying to see if all marinette 32s were build like mine and clearly over the years there were some changes. I have an aft pump, I was referring to moving it back about five feet to behind the v berth.there is no reason to leave it where it is when I ca...

Lol. Agreed. I Just don't like any more under the cabin than I have to.

The strange thing is that even though the bow pump is the lower one, it isn't much lower. There is maybe an inch of water at ...

Roger is right, no matter how hard the rain for ur bilge to have enough water to cover the stuff boxes is a hundred gallons or so. Either a passage is clogged or the plug hole is. This may be a blessing in disguise I've known people that flood bilges prelaunch to get stuffing swollen and dialed in o...

Has anyone ever fabricated a custom anchor to fit the bow tip of a Marinette? I think a contoured anchor would give a nice added touch of class to her bow. I may make a project of this.

Thank you.
