I recently purchased a self-contained battery powered submersible pump from, 
of all places, JC Whitney.  Haven't ventured out on the water since I got it 
(It's been COLD here in NH) but will try it out as soon as possible.
It's a little bulky, but I've been involved in a couple for-real rescues 
where it would have been nice to have a hands-free pump which could be passed 
off to another boat.
Takes 3 D-cells and claims to be watertight.  Obviously would carry a backup 
hand pump.

Item #:  07ZX7636X Cordless Submersible Pump $29.95
