Then a little bit of something floating around in the bilge goes into
you pump impeller and you have an unpowered sinking boat instead of a
powered sinking one. Great.

Its engine driven and clamps round your prop shaft, acting as a

If you're really screwed then shut off the seacock and cut the raw

intake hose to the engine. Use that to pull water from the bilge,
through
the engine and out the exhaust manifold.
