RE: [Paddlewise] waterbuster modifications

I just semi-installed mine this weekend (haven't quite figured out what to
do with the outlet hose).  I put in an artifical foam bulkhead (13" worth)
so that will be my new bulkhead will be my foot brace as well.  In the foam
I carved out the shape of the Waterbuster pump (I also carved out a notch
that will allow me to insert the end of the hand pump so that it will be
held in place under the deck).  I removed the bottom metal plate from the
pump and used a rasp to shape the bottom of the pump to the shape of the
hull.  Although it has not been through a trip test yet, on land I am easily
able to push the button on and off with my foot.  I chose not to position
the pump at the knee braces because the Anas Acuta would just be too hard to
get in and out of if I had to avoid the pump too.
