Tom... We have a good set up on Bathtub Mary.There is no need to make any
holes. What we have done is mount a (Rule 800 or 1000 gph) and its float
switch to a piece of plex that fit the shape of the forward end of the bilge.
When it is time to work on the device you just have to reach down and pull it
up and out as a unit and disconnect the hose and wires. 
Regards-Greg
