    Anyone know of any where stocking or selling a solar powered bilge pump? Ive tried marine shops and suppliers online and the only non electric ones I can find is a manufacturer in America who doesnt supply in Europe or a pump that works as an attachment off the mooring line for a small boat. Any solar pumps I can find tend to be for ponds and im not sure theyd have enough power to pump from the bilges up and over the side of the cockpit and decks and Id be afraid that without a float switch theyd just burn out in a day or 2. Theres no power on the boat to work off a battery and shes out on a mooring aswell

    It would probably not be too hard to source the bits separately and hook them together ...... What size of boat is it ?, you'll need a panel and charge controller then battery pump and float switch sizes would depend on how much water you need to shift

    Regards
