Something in the oven? You are pregnant? Congrats! :-)
Not attacking - who has energy (or motivation) for that?
You seemed to be saying that maintenance is important, and I'm in full
agreement with that. Just wanted to point out the false hope of relying
on an electric bilge pump, with

figuring out how far up to drill thr holes for the ties.

Not crazy, but how old are your through hulls, sea cocks and hoses? Are
your hoses held up with seizing wire so if the sink connections crack
the hose won't fall down below the waterline? Do you have any red brass
nipples connecting sea cocks to bronze T's to share hose fittings?

Wal, if you are gone any amount of time when they fail you have lost the
boat anyway - any half decently sized bilge pump will kill the battery.
Let's assume a Whale 1000 gallon / hr pump, this will pull 4 amps. The
1000 gallons/hr rating is ideal, like mileage ratings on cars, so in

McMaster-Carr. I used little fiberglass blocks epoxied to the hull.
This was an early project (14 years ago... yikes!) and I'd do it better
now. However, I can replace the little bilge pump without pulling
everything
I am planning on mounting my new auto bilge switch to a plate then lower the
plate into the bilge and mounting it to the side of the bilge. Much easier
than trying to mount to the bottom of the bilge.
My question is if I use an aluminum plate and mount it with stainless
