Re: [Paddlewise] FW: Current Info on Electri

I have two bungie cords attached under the foredeck of my Romany.  This
works very well for the pump, but it didn't handle my water bottle very
well, and I really wanted the deck clear.  We picked up some 5" PVC
drainage pipe, cut about a 15" piece and capped the back, then stuck it
under the bungie cords and duct-taped it to the bungies, so it would stay
in place, and voila, a knee tube for my water bottle.  The pump fits
really neatly under the bungies, next to the knee hole.  None of it
interferes with entering or re-entering the kayak.
