Default emergency water pump - recommendation

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.


If you're screwed, you're screwed. Powered or not.

Besides, a raw water pump doesn't have a fraction the capacity of this
rig.


No argument there. But then nor does it have the constant horsepower
drain
that pump incurs.



But if flooding of a major nature is happening, a pump that can keep up with
it is more important than moving, otherwise movement will have a decidedly
downward trend.
