Bilge pump set-up for a Kayak
Big thanks to the author of the *Are you Prepared* thread! Glad you and your son are A-Ok!!!
I want to add bilge pumps to both my Hobie PA 14 and Malibu X-Factor 14 kayak ASAP, as I only have manual hand pumps now.....quite lame. I just did a bit of searching on bilge pumps and have more questions. Hoping someone give out some advice or maybe a link to a thread, article or a .pdf on accomplishing this ?...here's a few of my questions; 1. What is a solid make & model & GPH to use ? 2. Best to have a pump with an auto or manual switch ? 3. Thinking two pumps per kayak ? 4. How is the pump affixed to the kayak floor ? 5. Is there a standard fitting to use to position the exit hose ? I'm not a seasoned kayak fishing guy, thus all the newby questions. Hoping this thread helps others be more prepared as well, in case the worst ever happens. Thank you |
