RE: Bilge pump
A windshield washer pump (or similar) would work ok though you would need a battery to power it. You could run a waterpump (same as everyone uses for clutched motors) though it will only pump water when the motor is running (uses motor pulse to drive pump). So far I have never had a problem with an autosinker/autobailer. There should never be debris in your boat (your carb will ingest it if there is).
