What about a portable submersable bilge pump?


Put one in. Don't you have a drain opening in the low point of your
ice box? My last boat had a small electric pump that I could use to
empty the standing water in the icebox. My current boat has a hand
operated pump that sort of resembles a bicycle pump. It is teed into
the sink drain. Pump, pump....out it goes. That hand bailing is a
major headache. My first boat had a drain hole that simply drained
into the bilge. Yuck. Very poor shortcut.
