I bought one of those self contained battery operated pumps that use 3 d size batterys. It works but took over 15 minutes to empty my kayak and only 5 with a hand pump in calm conditions. The size is the main thing it won't fit behind the seat and has to fit between my legs. I put a piece of foam thru the handle so it would float if it left the kayak. It is better than nothing but needs a lot of improvements to work really good. I have never ran its batteries out cause I do not take or use it often.
