What he said.... I've tried all those ways over the years, easiest, simplest and cleanest is to buy a thru-hull pump and be done with it, they aren't expensive $25 or so almost anywhere. You should remember to flush out the saltwater when you're rinsing the rest of your gear off also. All you gotta do is put a garden hose to the intake or exit and let the water flush out the opposite end, rinses the tube, pump, and fittings of the bad salt deposits.

One of the great things about this is that it is so easy to remove if you get something jammed in it (which I haven't since I got an awesome screen on the intake). These things are made to come a part to replace or take crap out of it, genius that Attwood mfg is!! The strainer I made is just plastic for a plastic lid or milk carton or something plastic....I can't frik'n remember. Used a 1.5" hole maker thingy and screwed it in with these thin small SS screws.

You might want to put the on/off switch on the box itself or in the bag depending on whether it is accessible to you on the water. You only turn it on once and turn it off once, so it's no big deal. Unless you like to fook around with the bait and want to constantly play with the switch to make them jump. I learned to keep it clean on the deck and less wiring running around in your hull to a switch that could rust or get knocked off.
