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.

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!

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. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Madden" <maddencg_at_earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] pump hangers, where to find then > This might work. > http://www.oakorchardcanoe.com/accessories.htm *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I secured some strips of velcro using some adhesive 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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
