Looks very professional! Nice job.

Starting with some basic questions: Is the “drainage tube” connected to the bilge pump? Could the reason for the tube be for something else? Could you actually have a leak in that area? It looks like the tube has a back flow valve. If so, can you confirm it is working or isn’t installed...
