I was thinking about a bilge pump too with all the flipping incidents taking place lately. A manual pump is great but I like the idea of an internal bilge pump, which I know a couple people have done. I think it's hard enough just sitting on a yak half-full of water without having to worry about pumping water out. Plus I know some of the pumps are set to activate in the presence of water so if you're taking water on and aren't even aware the pump kicks on and will do its thing. Can any of you with bilge pumps setup give some insightful info, I know there's not one right way to install one. Is it on it's own battery, how is it secured to the hull, capacity,...etc? I apologize in advance for not running a search for bilge pumps before posting this.
