Like I said, this is an "I think".  I know I can properly insulte
the battery and fuse it for safety, I do it with a GPS and cell
phone right now.  What I *don't* know is how good the insulation
is on one of the submersible bilge pumps.  With the fuse, and
probably a little emergency cut off above deck just in case it
stings me, I may give it a try later this year.  2amps below 
the waste won't kill you, but it'd certainly sting, I'll tell
you what!
