Hi Carpy:
Welcome aboard. There are countless ways to do what you propose. I would get a 12v battery that has screw on posts for the pos anneg sides of the battery. Then buy an adapter like you get for a car trailer that is flat and has four plugs. wire one side to the bilge pump and the other to the battery when you want to pump on all you need to do is plug the pump into the connector when you want it off then you can unplug it. as an alternative you can put a switch in the poistive wire.

Here is a link to a more complicated automatic pump.
