Can't imagine them minding free paddler-time. ________________ [From Radical Gear] Support: The pump is supported by the top deck only ..... Certainly a support could be placed on the bottom of the kayak, if required by your particular kayak. <Snip: "O" ring response info> Weight - including inlet tubing: 5" pump -1lb 4 oz, 8" pump - 1 lb 6 oz Capacity - 5" pump: 5 GPM, 8" pump: 6GPM ______________ Five or six GPM isn't bad, but I think it would be dependent on location and arm angle; there's not a significant difference in pump power between the two, so the need to use the smaller one isn't much of a penalty. Agreeed --- some sort of large "fender washer" device might be strongly indicated. (They're used to plastic whitewater boats, I suspect.)
