From: <DPEVA_at_aol.com> > Takes 3 D-cells and claims to be watertight. Obviously would carry a backup > hand pump. It has a pretty low capacity (200 gal/hr) compared to the other electric pumps we've discussed. Assuming it actually gets its rated capacity, it only pumps one third of what mine can do (alternately - it will take three times as long to pump out the kayak). While there are some things that make the pump attractive, such as being self contained, waterproof and relatively portable, its low capacity warrants consideration. I'd want to test it out to see if it can deliver enough pumping to make it useful in a realistic situation. It may be good for kayaks with low volume cockpits.
