Several weeks ago I read about an emergency and rescue of a couple about 150nm off northern California. Among the multitude of issues (leading to catastrophic results) was a companionway breach by waves. The inlet to the bilge pump hose had clogged from cabin debris resulting in another issue (multitudes!). Since safety includes operational redundancy, does anyone make a practice of installing a smaller battery in a watertight but ventilated compartment to operate a secondary pump with clog proof screening?
