I've documented round 2 of my electric bilge pump saga online.  This 
version was made last year and has been tested thoroughly.  

My first iteration used an AGM battery and an electric switch.  The 
battery was taking up space in the rear compartment and the electric 
switch failed (mechanically, not by flooding).

I replaced the battery with a set of 12 NiMH AA in series and the 
switch with an air button and air switch - the kind used on hot tubs 
and spas.  Details at:
