    SNIP>>>If you want a really dry bilge you'll have to install a
    positive-displacement pump. ... Use an adjustable diaphragm switch mounted
    high
    and a piece of clear vinyl tube to reach to the bottom of the bilge. The best
    of these will have an adjustment that will allow on and off settings in the
    1-4" range. John "Seahorse"

    John, can you give us examples of "positive-displacement pumps?"
    I find this an interesting thread as I installed PSS shaft seals thinking it
    would lead to a dry bilge but water comes in from too many other sources so
    now my objective is to pump as much of the water out as I can.
