Easy. You don't install one. It doesn't need it.

A 15' with a normal sized (<= 70HP) engine is self bailing without people in the back. When you tie up for the day, pull the plug.

Get a small manual pump if you think you'll need to pump water out while you are in it, or pull the plug and run fast, the water will drain right out.

If you insist on a bilge pump, you need to secure the discharge hose over the transom.
