[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 294744, member: 1928"] Never know what might happen... a bilge pump is one of those "better to have it and not need it, than need it an not have it" deals. Typically they are near the transom, especially if that's where your battery is located. You can probably find a place to mount it (rib, transom support, etc) so that it's slightly above the floor so you don't have to fool with cutting your carpet. For example, I mounted mine to a piece of aluminum angle, and mounted the angle on the transom support. I'd go with a float version, many of which can be wired up so they work automatically with the float AND manually from a switch, so you have the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
