"An electric bilge pump, with a big reliable battery and a hefty, marine on/off switch, that piece of equipment is something I put high up on the list of things to bring, when going paddling - most of the rest is options!" The voice of experience speaking. Likewise, I would be reluctant to launch without a reliable hands-free pump. Had an electric pump and foot pump in the last kayak, now just a foot pump. A solo paddler who goes without a hands-free pump needs more experience. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
