I think it is important to note that a Yamaha has never been saved by a bilge pump or other on board pump during one of the Bimini crossings.
The scupper drains water much faster than a bilge pump or external pump would.
Two Yamahas were pumped out by tow boats. That cost each $8K or so that was not covered by tow insurance.
If you get water in the boat what is important is to keep moving, keep the bow up and avoid taking additional waves over the side or stern.
