>> I have no personal experience with foot pumps, but the thread has been very interesting, and since I usually paddle alone (I know, I know....) I've begun to think I should seriously consider installing one. How much weight does a foot pump, installed, add to the boat? As a senior citizen (hat eto think it, but it's true) my Romany 16, which now weights almost 70 lbs, is already about as heavy as I want to carry around, lift onto the top of the van, etc. - Bill Hansen >> The Whale Compac 50, which I think is similar to the Henderson Chimp, weighs 2 lb. Add hoses, strum box, and push plate, and I would guess the total to be 3-4 lb.
