<p>There are no limber holes for a reason. Do not add any. A hand bilge pump can clear different sealed areas that get water in them.</p>

<p>Roger, I have holes between some of the bulkheads. They are a nuisance and I plan to block them. Any water that gets into the cockpits ends up in the cockpit bilge and that's fine, I can clear that at the end of the day. The problem is that it wants to move into the central bilge and take an age to drain back to the cockpit. I store stuff in the central bilge which gets wet. To clear them I usually end up in there with a bucket and sponge.</p>

<p>I carry a manual stirrup bilge pump which is quick and effective. I think it would be good to attach an extension tube to this to get into the other bilges if needed. The pump and a collapsible bucket are my weapons in case of a major flood! </p>
<p>I think I will block the holes or perhaps fit rubber bungs.</p>
