Thanks for the suggestions on looking through the archives. After reading the info, i'm still not clear on the merits of the pumps mentioned. They sound like more trouble than they're worth. Granted, an electic bilge pump sounds like the best solution for open ocean situations -- when they work. But after looking through the comments there seem to be too many variables preventing reliability. That being said, I came across an automatic bilge pump which can turn on by itself after sensing a certain level of water. This sounds like the most elegant solution with no switches, wires, etc to deal with. Anyone install something like this in their kayak?
