I've had the boat a year now and this still bugs me... only one bilge pump. Is that normal/standard for a 42?
Every other boat I've owned has had one small pump for nuisance-water and (at minimum) a second much larger WE HAVE A PROBLEM pump.
I get that on this boat the handpump does the nuisance-water and the electric pump is the emergency pump but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it.
Were I to soothe my anxiety by adding a second big pump (wired into the high-water alarm circuit?), what's the typically-best location?
