What is a bilge pump on a boat?
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.

What is the water in the bottom of the boat called?
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".

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.
