RE: [Paddlewise] RFI electric bilge pumps

10)  I originally put an electric pump my boat just to see if I could find a
way to make one work. 

9)   An electric bilge pump is faster than a manual pump. 

8)   An electric bilge pump is less expensive than a foot pump.  

7)   An electric bilge pump is lighter than a foot pump.

6)   Using an electric allows me to focus on keeping my boat stable while
the motor does the work. 

5)   An electric pump will work when I'm too cold to work.

4)   An electric pump will work when I'm too tired to work.

3)   Pumping out a kayak full of sloshing water with the pump stuck down the
spray skirt tube an interesting hypothesis but lousy in practice.

2)   I need two hands to operate a hand pump and two hands to brace with a
paddle. 

1)   I can post on the recurring PW questions about electric bilge pumps and
write with some knowledge <g>.

Why not use hand power for the bilge pump. It´s always available.
