Pumping Out Winter Water

[ggooch]

Is there a relatively inexpensive way to pump out some water in the sole and some in the bilge. My new Mac 25 has been sitting in a parking lot for a few years and has just a little bit of water that I would like to remove.

Thanks,
Geoff

Old towels and buckets are pretty cheap.

How much water you got?

[ggooch]

Probably just a few gallons. Not more than 10 or 20 I would guess.

A small handpump (like kayakers use) and a bucket works great.

If it's on the trailer I syphon it out with an 8mm tube. Does pretty well! Sponging out on an X is a real pain.. got to crawl all the way down the back. Fine for midgets.

move weight to the bow, or jack up the stern....you only have to sponge out under the 2 covers.

I use a shopvac.

dito on the shopvac but now that I've read about the siphon I'm feeling a bit stupid. Going to go that route next time.
