Thanks, Lou
That seems do able.
Sounds like a project from my TTL Cookbook days.

I am trying to remember the last time I saw my breadboard and jumpers; I think it was 1974. Uh oh.

Thumbs up!

Considering the ridiculous price of electronic components nowadays I like to play with this and you can easily make neat little things.

I contemplated adding a timer to the circuit but decided against it as it would be another possible point of failure. This keeps it simple which is all that’s needed and if I forget to switch it off after the bilge is pumped out no damage to the pump. It does have a light at the helm indicating the circuit is energized, I do need to pay closer attention instead of getting distracted by other chores.
