Default emergency water pump - recommendation

Its engine driven and clamps round your prop shaft, acting as a bilge
blower (or rather sucker) untill the water gets up to its intake :-)


If you're really screwed then shut off the seacock and cut the raw water
intake hose to the engine. Use that to pull water from the bilge, through
the engine and out the exhaust manifold.
