I carry way too much crap...a hand bilge pump being one of them. I've never used in on my yak.....but I always feel like a hero when someone is bogged down and taking on water. If one feels that a pump is too much to lug around, toss in an extra section of 3/4" hose and a few zip ties, the bait tank makes an excellent bilge pump and 6 feet of hose will reach the back of your yak, the plus side is great, water pumping out as you get to fish.

I have not removed my drain plug since I bought my trident 15. What little water gets into my kayak, I just use those big huge home depot painter sponges to squeeze it out. I would marine goop all the areas that water can get into, and reinforce the seal on the bigger hatches. Then you don't have to worry about it the drain plug so much.

Wind is not your friend on a kayak. I've learned to not like anything above 11 mph.
