I noticed yesterday that Rule makes a 500 GPH (8.3 GPM) submersible pump with a float switch. This would eliminate the need for an "Off-On" switch with all of it's associated problems. Having never been in the position of sitting in a flooded kayak, yet, I can only listen and speculate. I do think the battery powered pump would be useful for 2 reasons: 1. It's pumping while you are paddling 2. It's pumping with the spray skirt attached (I assume it is vented through the hull). Being able to control the boat while not taking on any additional water would seem to me to be very desirable after a re-entry.
