I've been using a 2 gallon wet/dry vac to pump out my bilges (about once =
every 2wks), on sale at Sears for $40. It's real handy for small clean =
ups too. Stows easily.

Yup, I keep the wet/dry Stinger on board...same idea. But a handpump takes care
of the bilge. I' rewiring the automatic one cuz it's there and I bought a new
float switch for it.
