Should really have both. I have the circular lifering attached to the MOB pole and a Lifesling. Lifering/horseshoe buoy is to throw to the MOB. Lifesling is to get them back on the boat.
I just jammed it in forward of the keel bolt under the mast step and it fits perfectly. I had top move the hose from the manual pump to the side, but that still works too if the water is deep enough… I ran the exit hose through the holes in the stringers under the floor boards and out the companionway. I cut a small notch in the wooden companion way board I use at dock for the hose to run out when I am gone.
As the rain water runs down the mast anyway, I run the dehumidifier hose into the bilge through the finger hole in the inspection board for the keel bolt when I am away from the boat. Come back and the boat is dry as a bone with only a little bit of water that the rule bilge pump can’t empty left in the bilge.
I have one of these: http://store.waterpumpsupply.com/ruau12vodcbi.html stuffed in the bilge in front of the big keel bolt with a hose that runs out of the companionway when we are not on the boat. It is hooked up to a rule: Auto, Off, On Switch with a fuse directly to the battery. Auto runs every minute or so when not full. Great solution. Not much room for anything else.

Nothing actually. Only covers the foreward hatch.
3 c) Lazarette cover, forepeak and companionway hatches. Replacement forepeak hatches similar to the original Bomar hatch may installed. Fore or aft opening orientation is not specified. Material is not specified.
If I was going offshore, I would get it replaced with a proper Lewmar. Currently is tied down with a rope and cleat system running to under the stairs.
How is this different than twinging down the sheet?
Imagine the clusterf#@k if you forgot to remove it before gybing or if you Chinese gybed…
