Thanks Bob,

I think you did a better job at stating what I was trying to say. If foot
pumps are the holy grail of getting your boat dried out (and I'm not in any
way saying they aren't), then why aren't they offered by more manufactures
as standard or OEM add on equipment?  It could be that some of the technical
challenges I'm having would have already been solved by the manufacturer, so
even if I installed the foot pump myself, the "foundation" would already be
there.

I too think it would be easier in a kit, preferably one designed for the
boat you intend to install it in.
