: Regarding recharging systems for electric pumps, it should also be designed
: to hook up to a portable solar array for recharging the batteries. This
: would be useful on long trips to remote areas where access to electricity
: is limited.

Again, any connection system for a solar panel must be absolutely water proof. You can not leave any connection points exposed to salt water. Galvanic corrosion will destroy any connector left exposed.
