subject: [Paddlewise] pump hangers, where to find then
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 17:17:53 -0700
While surfing the net looking for kayak shops close to I 5 in Seattle the 
other night I came across this site that was selling these cool hangers for 
a hand pump.

They attach under your deck, between your knees.  They kind of look like 
oar locks.  The ends are pinched in so you have to push the pump shaft past 
the pinched part into the holder. Once in place the pump won't move until 
you need it.

The hangers were $6.95 for the pair.

The problem is I was at a temporary work site and not on my computer.  So I 
didn't bookmark the web page and now I can't find the page.

Has anyone heard or seen these things before?  Do you know where I'd find 
them? And has anyone any real life experience with them.

Thanks
Gordin

I believe Perception makes them, though you may find them at West Marine or
similar. 

I glassed two under my deck to avoid drilling. Works great!

I used a Mag-light clamp (for a mag-light flashlight) and got it at my  
local Ace Hardware store.

If this is it (from the site below):

"Bilge Clip Kit
. Secures pump on deck where it is easy to reach . 1 5/8" diameter nylon 
clip . Works with our bilge pump or any similarly sized items . Installs with 
two 10 -32 - 5/8" screws . Not designed to secure pump when cartopping "

I would not recommend it.  That clip will break off the first time it takes a 
good hit.  I secured some strips of velcro using some adhesive to a couple 
PVC holdfasts (don't have a link) to the inside of the hull of my single, 
just behind my seat.  The velcro strips close __over__ the pump shaft, 
forming loops.  Never a failure in this in some 10 years of use, and easy to 
loosen with stiff fingers or neoprene gloves.

I've found a whole bunch of that kind in local canadian store, called
Steveston Marine (cheaper equivalent of West Marine, which also must have
them).  Many different sizes, prices from CDN 3 to CDN 4, black or white,
called C-clip or something like that.  Some have narrow walls, like those in
the link, and some - about 1" wide (like 1"cut off plastic tube of required
diameter).  All of them looked very fragile to me.  Velcro idea looks much
better.
