Battery weight is about 6 1/2 lbs. Now that I have solved the water in the switch problem I reported in the earlier thread the pump works great. At low voltage the pump will run at less than its rated capacity, but it will still be much faster than hand or foot pumping. An electric pump also lets you focus on keeping the boat stable a definite advantage with a boat that is unstable due to a cockpit full of water. >> I've seen Dana's pump in action, and the fountain of water it shoots out is truly amazing; it can empty a totally swamped cockpit in 2-3 minutes (my recollection; I didn't time it).
