It was good but..it wasn't worth it!

Hey Tony I had an idea, wouldn't help you if you lost your pump, but... mount a through-hull fitting somewhere topside of your yak. The fitting has a hose attached to the bottom that reaches a low point inside the yak. The top of the fitting has a cap which is removed to attach a short hose to your bilge when you need it... now you can pump water out without opening any hatches. What do ya think?

That's a pretty good idea! I just frick'n hate to drill holes in the haul.
*edited... After thinking about it, one could use the holes for the sonar wire pass through. No extra holes

As Tony said don't get a toy water squirt gun to try and save your life. Walmart sells a Atwood hand bilge pump for $19.99. I bought a West Marine one that has a foam collar that makes it float for $20. Is your life worth less than $20. Think about it.

If I'm gonna go that far as to drill a hole...I just might as well install a electric bilge pump like the one I had on my stealth.

I don't think it's necessary...you just have to be more careful and not underestimate the conditions....and not over estimate you & your kayaks abilities..

I think, I might install an electric bilge pump. Tony's foresight on installing an electric bilge pump on his old kayak saved his life one time too.

You should, you barely have anything on your kayak anyhow 😁
