I added a float switch to my little attwood for the dink. Pretty simply,
just make up a bracket and screw it into the top, run the wires through a
hole in the top and silicone the hole shut. Works great!

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.
