Mike, the smallest size of submersible non-automatic centrifugal
bilge pump will work just fine.  They're expensive though -- West

The pump expects to move a lot more water than you want, but the
small size of the output tubing chokes it down so you'll get the same
trickle as the little toy Coleman pump (Coleman of *Germany* thank
you very much.  VW wanted $125 for it around 1991) delivered, and
similar current draw.  Arrange the discharge hose so the pump stands
upright and it will pump down very near empty.
