I agree with the multiple pump logic. I boat on a land locked medium sized lake and still have 2 pumps. A Rule 1500 and a Rule 800. Both can be operated with a manual switch. Both are also "hotwired" to the battery through an automatic float switch. JIC I also have a high water alarm. Some people call this overkill, I call it safety! BTW, my boat doesn't take on any water during dockage.
