Hi Jamy,

See:

http://www.paddlewise.net/topics/boatequip/elecpumps.html

For a previous discussion here about electric bilge pumps. In there, I
mention a gel cell 12v battery. I can now "highly" recommend such a set up.
I moved the battery to the rear hatch and used a boat trailer light quick
disconnect so I can easily install or remove the battery. The battery is
attached by wide velcro on the bottom and one side. I rolled many times last
weekend without the battery coming loose from the velcro.

The battery is about the size of a single 6v lantern battery...

Woody
