Best answer, Woody, keep trying things, and work in the order of the least impact of change on your boat. You'll come up with the Woody-best answer sometime soon! yes indeed my current footrest (was pump) setup in my skerray is mk3 (mk4 if you include the VCP footrests it came with). fiddle, fiddle....

I'm not as familiar with the Guzzler as you are, but I have a pair of Henderson footpumps in my Pintail and North Bay, and I have an old Henderson deckpump around somewhere. Like you, I'm playing with the idea of electrics, but, like you, I'm concerned with waterproofing the system. I definitely don't want to depend on using a handpump in a sea condition which could knock me out of my boat, and, if I relocate my Pintail's footpump further outboard, I will decrease the likelihood of getting cramps while using it. Like Les, I have my footpumps surrounded by foam, and use that for footrests, vs. using pegs. (And, to address the issue of plugs of minicell foam supporting the pump, my Pintail is set up that way and has been for many years --- and the foam is as firm and thick as it was when it was installed.) > > Best answer, Woody, keep trying things, and work in the order of the least impact of change on your boat.
