I have almost the same setup. An Attwood 450 instead of the Rule, and a 12v ATV gel cell battery about the size of a lantern battery. As sort of a bonus, I also have a weatherized accessory outlet so the GPS and cell phone also have something to plug in to 8^) If I remember correctly about my tests, the battery ran my pump for over an hour. It takes bout 5 minutes to pump out the cockpit. The main thing I wish to change is I'd like to use a low profile waterproof rocker switch instead of the toggle switch. I'm afraid that one day I'm going to bang that toggle and break it off.
