I second using a FastFlow engine powered pump.

If you can keep the engine output shaft turning, you have a far better bilge pump than any electric pump. the neat thing about that way is that it is ALWAYS spinning when the engine is running, so any water hits the blades gets blown out.

If you put it on the prop shaft, it will pump water even if you're backing down.

Also, they make models that are split and can be installed without hauling the boat or changing the drive shafts, it simply clamps around your shaft, and the pump housing is split as well.

Nothing to turn on, crank up or winterize on those pumps.
