if anyone's interested the 12v pumps are popular here. THe only write up I'm aware of from here is laurie ford's http://www.tassie.net.au/~lford/ not everybody does it laurie's way. Most put the battery in the rear compartment. I thought some of the ideas on this list for waterproof containers in the cockpit sounded good - saves drilling holes in rear bulkheads and rear compartments. On this matter I noticed recently an electronic store here (dick smith) sells some sort of (claimed) waterproof grommets that screw together and around the cable somehow. I recently modified my attwood waterbuster by adding a deck mounted switch. I did post a short 'how to'. I have since written a longer version for the NSWSKC newsletter. It should be on our website soon - http://203.147.209.230/ this pump is relatively low volume but is self-contained - runs on 'd' cells - so is very simple and easy to maintain. nick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Dec 04 1999 - 15:16:17 PST
