Here We Go Again

Any need to put a small bilge pump in the bracket?
I guess my question is more,is there a reason not to?
If I would put a small breather through the hull so that I don'y build up to much pressure in the 115o heat of the Mojave blow the seem in the swimstep/bracket.
It would make sence to me to put like a 500 gph or smaller in the bracket.
Sorry if that's a dumb question. But I am the inventer of Murphy's law.

If you put a pump in there, you'll have a convenient place for it to flood by. .... plus the pain in the neck of running power to it.

Why not just use a clear deck inspection cover? .... They seal well and you can always look in to see if some how something's gone south.
