Comment: "Thanks again, Sue, for your answer. But I think, in this case, we are, indeed, referring to a transfer pump as I hinted in the question itself. Of course, I was hoping for a more nautical word for it but, since nobody could come up with one, I'll go with Transfer Pump.
If anyone reading this does think of a better term, please email me, OK?
Thanks to you all, and happy boating, Sue!! "

Bilge pumps
Pumps, automatic or manual, to remove excess water from the bilges of a boat/ship. I know, we have them in ours!
