How to make a Bilge Pump Well for a Carolina Skiff J16
Many Carolina Skiffs do not have a bilge well. In fact most have two scuppers which are located at or below the waterline. This lets an inch or water constantly on the deck. The solution is to install a bilge well, plug up the scuppers and let an automatic bilge pump pump the deck dry. This short how-to video details how to cut out and fiberglass a bilge pump well for a Carolina Skiff J16. Dan Berg from www.DIYeasycrafts.com gives an overview of how he cut through the deck and coated the box or well with fiberglass. He also installed plastic wood to screw down the bilge pump into and a top screen to prevent debris from clogging up the bilge.

We used fiberglass mesh and biaxal, which is a combination of mesh and woven cloth combined with resin from totalboat and fiberglass putty for this project.
