Hello, Greg.
I am new to this forum and just saw your post.
Re: Kelt 7.6 bilge pump. In the first year I had the boat in 2018, I installed a Whale low-profile automatic bilge pump in my Kelt 7.6. (This pump probably saved my boat from sinking that year. See my Water in Bilge post for more detail about that episode). There really is not much room under the cabin sole, but the low-profile pump just fit. This pump has some kind of sensor built in so that you do not need a separate float switch. i routed the hose and 12v wire out through the aft end of the cabin sole to exit just under the sink's foot pump. Not very elegant, but it works, and the hose/wire are not too obtrusive.
