Author	Topic:   Flow Rate of Factory Bilge Pump, 170 MONTAUK
bigjohn1	posted 05-30-2004 07:28 AM ET (US)         What is the flow rate of the factory-supplied bilge pump in the 2004 170 MONTAUK? Since pumps are realtively cheap, considering what they do, I'm just wondering if this is an area that I could upgrade when my boat comes in. Boat will see 100 % useage in open ocean and I always like the "safety margin" of evacuating the bilge of any water as quickly as possible when the seas kick up. Big John

See my article of replacing bilge sump pumps: http://continuouswave.com/maintenance-logs/newBilgePump/
