In addition, I take the strap with the fastek buckles on it and clip it around the seat pillar so that the float stays in until needed. My pump fits in the same place, just underneath the paddle float. Kayaks in the ocean (where they truly belong) should have a clean deck. Junk on the foredeck interferes with both paddling and rescues. Steve Holtzman S.
