A "bilge pump" is not automatically on a boat. Every boat does however have a bilge area. It is the area in a boat's hull where water collects. This area is seriously recommended to have a "bilge pump" in it on every boat to pump the water out of this area while on the water. Bilge's have drain plugs on the back of the boat for when you take it out of the water to fully drain it.
A bilge is a part of a ship. A bilge is the lowest compartment on a ship where water tends to collect as it is below the waterline. Bilge maintenance revolves around removing the water that collects in the bilge. This can be done by using buckets and pumps.

IN larger boats, the area at the very bottom of the boat is called the "bilge", and the water there is sometimes called "bilge water". To get rid of it, sailors use bilge pumps to pump the water over the side and out of the boat. For smaller boats that don't have bilge pumps, the sailors will "bail" the water out by scooping it up with any suitable container, and dumping it overboard.
