Thanks for your comment, Mark. I think you are absolutely right. This comes under the heading of "if-I-knew-then-what-I-know-now."  As it was, the little Whale pump did its job until I found the freakish holes in the hull and patched them up. Since then, the pump has been dormant in the last two years and the bilge has been bone dry. Hopefully it will continue to be so when the boat is lifted in next week. Cheers.

Keep in mind you can locate the pump almost anywhere with a hose/strainer running to the bilge. Mine is below the galley sink with the on/off/auto switch just below the sink.

Rick, I think your solution was just fine.  Amazing story about almost sinking your boat!  Great lesson for all boat owners.
