Covered or uncovered you should use a small bilge pump. They're super cheap and it's better than coming home to a submerged boat. Even covered if there's a small hole anywhere water is getting in so you'd need the pump.
This is a good one. You want one with a built in float or buy one with a separate float. Either way just know the 15 buck one is meant to wire up to an automatic float or switch.

Battery is good. I've tested the bilge pump running directly off the battery. I do have a cheap harbor freight multi-meter.
The pump only pulls 3amps at 12v. I figured the fuse block was a little overboard, but for a few bucks more, I decided to get it (along with an assortment of 3/5/7.5 etc amp fuses) and leave room for future expansion.
The big questions is the fuse block. Looking at it confused me. I assumed the 14 terminals, 7 on each side, running down the long sides will receive positive wire. But I wasn't sure what to do with the negative wire. The top of the block has 7 additional terminals, but I wasn't sure what those were for, maybe the negative wire? But if so, why are there only 7 terminals and not 14? I'm sure its simple and obvious, but I'm missing it. Thanks
