bilge pumps
Boat water removers
Bilge pumps are devices that remove water from a boat's bilge—the lowest internal compartment where water collects.
Every vessel needs one to stay afloat; without a working bilge pump, accumulated water from leaks, rain, or waves can sink a boat.
Most modern boats have both manual and electric bilge pumps: The automatic bilge pump kicked on when water reached the sensor.
