>>>>I took a quick tumb through a couple of ww/touring catalogs and didn't see a foot operated bilge pump either. Anyone know where one can be had? <<< any dealer of valley/nigel dennis kayaks will be able to supply the british "chimp" foot pump, list price is $175 (ouch!), but worth it. i tried several years ago (prior to becoming a dealer myself) to adapt a whale pump (much less pricey) by installing an internal spring to allow use as a foot pump, it worked but not as well as the chimp, and was much bulkier which added to the installation woes. In addition i always was a little wrried about relying on it in survival conditions. the other great thing abot foot pumps is the ability to easlily pump out the water that invariably accumulates when surfing/playing in waves. george ruta northcountry kayak 518-677-3040 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 27 1998 - 19:20:26 PDT
