Subject: [Paddlewise] Electric Bilge Pump Questi


Last Friday I purchased a pump and fittings to install an electric pump   in
my kayak.  The pump does not have a built in check valve.  Nor does the
port for the side of the boat.  How do those of you with similar systems
keep from flooding your cockpit through what appears to be a 1 1/8 inch   (29
mm) diameter hole in the boat?


Thanks for the help.

My foot pump has built-in check valves. Have you checked with the pump
dealer? There might be an accessory check valve you could install on the
outlet.
