Thanks for the tips to all who sent them! Yes, the Henderson does 
come with a mounting bracket on the back which they say in the 
instructions is for mounting the pump on a cross-bar. The idea on 
mounting it on a bar that attaches to the Yakima foot-pegs is 
intriguing. Is there such a bar? I am thinking of something that 
slide in front (towards the bow) of the pegs (yes, my boat has a 
rudder) and tighten down. This way the pump could be adjusted 
depending on who's paddling. My boat isn't nearby, so I can't even 
check if this would work. But interesting idea...
