As Gabriel mentioned, I have a page that shows how I put in a knee 
tube and a bilge pump tubein under my deck.

I like this solution and it has never gotten in the way. I've had a 
Henderson footpump sitting on the shelf for almost two years now. One 
of these days I'll actually install it. But even with a foot pump, I 
think it is a good idea to carry a backup hand pump. Stowing it under 
the deck keeps it out of the way and readily accessible. I'm just sad 
I won't be able to knee tubes into the Khatsalano I'm getting for my 
move to the Netherlands ;-)
