	20 Electric Bilge Pumps Tested
		Boats with bilges that have minimal horizontal dimensions—which means they have narrow and deep bilges—are the most difficult to deal with because the bilge fills quickly, with the pump removing little water in each cycle.
		How long submersible bilge pumps can survive in the truly scuzzy quarters assigned to them is not only beyond the scope of a bench test, it also would vary greatly with the conditions aboard individual boats.
		As was discussed in the report on manual bilge pumps in the April 2000 issue, the question of “lift” is important.

		The uppermost layer of water, where oil and gasoline tend to settle, also plays host to the eggs and larvae of most fish, shellfish, frogs, dragonflies, mayflies and the plankton that the rest of the food chain relies on for food.

	New Bilge Pump
		You'd come aboard, clear the bilge of water with the pump, start the engine--making enough noise that the pump was totally inaudible now--and leave the pump running for hours, until you finally shut the engine off and heard the pump running dry.
		The new bilge pump would be one of those big, ugly, noisy, diaphragm pumps that could mount in the cockpit locker, well above the oily water of the bilge sump.
		In the case of the old submersible pump, lift was about zero, as the pump was in the water it was trying to move and depended on gravity to feed the water to it.

	ALL ABOUT BILGE PUMPS - Boats, Yachts Maintenance and Troubleshooting
		Especially for planing power boats, keep in mind that bilge water will flow to the stern while underway if there is free communication, or it will be stopped at water tight compartments.
		There are four things you need to consider for reliable switch installation: (1) no debris in bilge, (2) nothing should interfere with the rise and fall of the switch, (3) it must be wired properly, and (4) it must be protected from the surge of water in the bilge.
		The hoses at left were restraining the float switch and the wire connections were laying in the bilge water.

	boats.com - How To: Bilge Cleaning Basics
		If you have a trailerboat, you can simply drain the bilges at home but, then again, you're probably breaking the law because it is illegal in most areas to dump oil into the sewer system, regardless of whether you pour it down your kitchen sink or into a storm drain.
		Additional problems are incurred with bacterial bilge cleaners, since they require a fairly long period to consume the oil and you have to keep your bilge wet during that time.
		If you're still getting oil in the bilge, several companies are offering oil absorbent materials that can be used to suck the oil right out of the bilge water, leaving a liquid that you can pump overboard with no fear.

	BoatUS BoatTECH Guides: Bilge Pumps
		If you rely on a bilge pump's advertised "flow-capacity rating" expressed in gallons per hour (g.p.h.) or gallons per minute (g.p.m.), you may end up with a bilge pump that's woefully inadequate for your particular needs.
		"Static head" is the distance between the surface of the bilge water and the highest point in the system, which is either the discharge opening in the side of the boat or the top of the hose if it's configured to include an anti-siphon loop.
		The ribs in corrugated hoses offer the greatest resistance to flow because they create eddies near the hose walls that narrow the channel the water flows through, thereby reducing the amount of water a bilge pump can move in a given period.

	Bilge Water Blues: Boat Maintenance/Repairs
		eople are often baffled by the problem that the typical rotary vane bilge pump (such as Rule) does not remove all the water from the bilge.
		Plus there is also the matter that the remaining water in the hose when the pump turns off then runs back into the bilge.
		Fortunately, there is a solution for this, which is to install a diaphragm pump that is capable of removing nearly all of the water from the bilge.

		Oily water separators are used to separate oil from bilge water before the latter is pumped overboard.
		The oily water separator works on the principle of coalescing small oil droplets in the water to form larger oil drops.
		Heaters are also employed to warm up the water and oil mixture to increase the density difference between water and oil and thus hastening the separation process.

		Studies of the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill have shown that the environmental damage caused by oil spills is greater than was previously thought.
