I've never had water in the hull with the exception of getting caught in the surf. The manufactures seals on the manufactures molded openings are suffencient to keep most of the water out.

Here's a saying from my old motorcycle desert racing days:

"If you have a $10.00 head , wear a $10.00 helmet",

I think the bilge pump is a great tool for the kayak fishing people, It may not be for everyone but for those who dont mind it, it's unreplaceable, I carry a, manual pump, and can disconnect my above deck bait tank pump to stuff it in the forward 8" hatch to drain also, But I have been toying around with a simular system but just need a few more pieces in place.,
I carrya 12 Vt. battery below deck for FF so it's no worries for the wiring.
Thanks for the ideas.
