Eric:
Put a big inverted "U" in the line inside the boat and then you can place the
discharge lower on the hull. That way the syphon action of the U will overcome the
head pressure while still protecting the boat from ingressing water when not
pumping. (....friction neglected as in Physics books)
How the hell do you manage to send messages so that they come in several hours
earlier then the rest of the mail. Is you computer clock wrong or are you in
Australia or something. I have to get to the bottom of this or I could develop some
kind of phobia......
Oh no !
