Hi paddlewisers,

looks like sping outside.
The last couple of days I looked into the electric bilge pump issue.
I found the summary from last years discussion in the paddlewise 
www page -was before I got into kayaking.  
There was also an article in one of last years Seakayaker issues 
(August 99?).  Is it worth to get this article?

Right now I think about installing a Rule 500 pump with a separate 
battery pack (motorcycle battery or 2 connected lantern batteries) 
in the cockpit compartment of my stitch and glue kayak.  Not sure 
yet if the pump goes behind the seat or into the front.  Have to 
check were the deepest point of the cockpit is.............

Any further suggestions from you?

Cheers

ulli

P.S.  I will carry a regular two hander manual pump as backup .
