Hi all, Thanks for all the good replies to my questions. It again shows how nice this forum is if you have a question on anything related to kayakking. I asked about a running bowline. Some people thought I wanted do discard decklines altogether. Actually, it never entered my mind to have no decklines and toggles, I consider them to be a indispensable safety device. But what about adding a running bowline to the existing rigging, is that worth the effort and deck clutter? Rainer Schroeter send me off list the idea to use a reed switch with a magnet to switch an electric pump. That is quite an interesting idea, as it does not require a hole in the deck nor a waterproof switch. Happy kayakking Merijn ****************************** Merijn Wijnen Vinkenhofje 8 5613 CN Eindhoven The Netherlands Tel.: 040-2939991 (job: 040-2650539) Fax: same as tel., call before sending or try twice E-mail: Home: merijn_at_music.demon.nl Job: m.wijnen_at_ind.tno.nl Web-site: http://www.music.demon.nl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
