[QUOTE="cyclops2, post: 492717, member: 32141"] I always put all bilge pumps in a piece of S S screen BAG closed at the top with a electrical Ty Rap. keeps all the tiny bits of fish line & other junk from clogging the pump. Bits of small baits also can be stopped. I DO NOT ever wire any bilge pumps to the battery directly. Reason is heavy rains WILL WILL run the battery down to far and cause it to fail too quickly. I go to the boat and stand on a seat next to the control panel. Start the engine first to a fast idle. THEN turn on the pump. My small boat battery is about 8 years old & still fine. [/QUOTE]
