I have often wondered about using the bait tank pump to empty the bulge in an emergency. I built my tank with the battery in a dry box. I could tie the tank to the side of the yak with the pump inside the bilge. Water would be pumped out of the bilge and into the tank which would be outside the kayak.

Hope I never have to find out if it would work, but the bait pump is an asset in an emergency
