What happens if the batteries go dead....the three bilge pumps producing 4800 gph with back-up alarms wont do you much good...

Keep in mind that water bypassing the hatch will be measured in teaspoons not gallons, but regardless there is no consequnece. My bilge can be flooded and the boat will be fine.

In fact it is fairly common for the bilge on my model of boat to be converted to a live well for the commercial live halibut fishery. My boat used to be commercial boat as well, but the bilge was never converted.
