Currently working on a 91 2520mv project.
When blocked up and also on the trailer I have noticed the tendency of some bilge water to accumulate in the front cabin bilge area. I have a second pump in there so it will not accumulate to any depth but still I do not like to have it damp all the time.
With my gas tank now out I can see a glassed in tube connecting the front and rear bilge areas. Since I have a front bilge pump I am thinking of plugging that tube so that water from the rear deck and bilge will not run forward to the front cabin bilge area when the boat is at rest. Since the front bilge would get very limited water from mostly the rope locker I think isolating the front and rear would keep the front cabin bilge bone dry most of the time.
Any other 2520mv owners care to weigh in?
