Hope I never have to find out if it would work, but the bait pump is an asset in an emergency

Too risky worrying about whether or not the pump is gonna prime. Safe bet is to carry a pump. After the shark bite into the kayak, he should have been paddling with hatch open and inspecting for a leak which is pretty much a given. A hand pump and he would have been home free.
