Put one in my Pintail a few months back, and the difference between it and the old afterdeck "chimp" pump --- or any of the other Irish "galley" pumps and electric pumps I tried, as well --- is night and day! And no batteries or switches to worry about. And you can pump out with your skirt on and the paddle in full use. Only one problem --- it'll pump out so much water so fast that your skirt's seal on the coaming, if it's a good one, will slow down the water outflow by creating a partial vacuum inside the cockpit --- and you'll see it as you pump out; the skirt will be sucked down into the cockpit!
