Should I only run my bilge pump when the engine is off...or can it run
safely when the boat is under power and running?

So far, I am using it only when the engine is not running but of
course it is probably draining my battery when I do so....

Your bilge pump should work anytime it's needed. Battery run down is
a problem over long periods of time, but that can be eliminated by
using an onboard battery charger.

Take care.
