    With big fish say tuna - I change out after every fish of after a couple of hook ups. With sharks there are lots of nicks in the line so you end up having to cut out lots of line each time.

    Shower Sump Question

    I assume the shower sump pump works by a float the same way the bilge does. Recently I was in area that prohibited the discharge of grey water. Is there any way to manually prevent the sump from discharging ? Thanks
