Bilge Question
My bilge outlet is below the water line when boat lists in the marina due to wind from off side so I close the gate valve problem is auto bilge pump cant pump out.My question is if I loop the outlet pipe up above the water level by a foot or more it should stop the ingress of water through the bilge pump I think??? I'm also going to install a non-return valve in the manual pump line am I doing the righ thing???
