Back to the question about using an automatic bilge pump. If you roll your kayak and flood it, having an automatic pump might be great for removing the water inside if you can roll it upright. As John mentioned his bow flooded so if the pump is in the wrong place, it might not help at all. All my bilge pumps have been made by "rule" but if you read the 500 gph product overview it takes 2" of water to activate the sensor. Thats a lot of water to have inside a kayak before the pump turns on. Many things to consider but a great question to bring out safety ideas from others in the community.
