[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 61824, member: 55"] The only problem I have found with the small self priming pumps, when I was looking for one, is that few exist in 12v, and just about everyone had bad reviews on them. Most any bilge pump will work. Just get a small one, say 250 GPH, and if you can't get it to fit, you can make a fuel tank platform, that lifts just up 3 inches or so off the hull, to fit the bilge pump under. It can be lift out, so you can still clean down there, and you can make it out of slats, like many swim platforms on ski boats, or just a simple piece of ply. It will also keep your fuel tank out of the wet bilge, and give you a place to put bungee rings, if your fuel tanks like to shift. [/QUOTE]
