Not yet, but I have been thinking about it and acquiring parts. My general idea is a very small capacity setup that can empty the dinghy over time while I'm away to save me from doing it manually upon arrival. A fishtank sized pump with 1/4 inch tubing would probably do what I'm after. I would like to find a small SILENT pump that can run dry without harm. I would not bother with a battery or a float switch. It would just run for a few hours each day when the sun was up regardless if there was anything to pump or not. I found a semiflexible 5 watt panel that fits perfectly as a seat cover. The only pump I tried so far was too noisy and not durable. I'm thinking I may find something that is used in medical equipment.

OK the solar panel discussion has got me going...

I am thinking of putting a auto bilge pump, motorcycle battery and solar panel charge in my RIB.

Anyone try it?
