[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 523549, member: 3438"] I have something similar from HF. A fluid transfer pump. I don't use it as a bildge pump, though. For me, it probably would not work well for that. There is normally some debris in the bildge water that would probably quickly jam the pump. Your boat looks new, without any accumulated "gunk", so probably won't be an issue for a while. If it died at the bottom of the boat, it will only be a matter of time until it sees a torential downpour that will probably do it in. If you have a deep cycle battery in the boat, I would look to hook up a true bildge pump that has sensing capabilities. This would be more useful when you are out in heavy weather. I couldn't tell if the boat has a drain plug or not. If not, install one, and leave it open while it sits on top of your dock. Thats what I see most people do for boats that can't flip over easily or because of other stuff installed. [/QUOTE]
