My mast is usually out during the winter...left it in this year for reasons...I use a cheap -35C windshield washer in the bilge to prevent any water from freezing before I get to the boat to pump it out. Mast in or mast out, I don't use either the manual or electric pump(s) in the winter....both lines and pumps are primed with the same -35C rated windshield washer to prevent any chance of freezing causing trouble.  Has worked well for the past 16 winters.

Water leaks in on a warmer day and then freezes before I can get to it and pump it out. No auto pump.  Cheap anti-freeze works well 'til I visit the boat again.

Ron, Why are you putting anti-freeze in the bilge?
