Wow, that's pretty cool, Larry, and costs about twice what those
crappy "Scotty" hand pumps cost. I like to take my Zodiac RIB out into
Lake Ontario in heavy water and fly off the waves. Naturally, it's
damp fun. Having this wee thing draining the sump would save my arms
for rowing G...right...

Does any one know of a good bilge pump that is not electric that will
work well for a dinghy.

Outside of a coffee can or one of those horrid piston pumps made of
the cheapest plastic on the planet that flops around in the dink
always in the way, I like the Cordless Attwood, myself.

Runs about 5 hours on 3 D cells......a lifetime of dingy pumpout. I
recommend putting alkaline D cells into it because they have a very
long shelf life......

Too bad it doesn't have a float switch to keep the dink dry when it
rains.....

I doubt you'll find a dink bilge pump that is so self contained for
only 5" of deck space.....about the same as that damned coffee can.

No, no, Scotty! I said, "Beam me a wrench.", not a WENCH!
