All this talk about sinking and safety, getting swamped, I thought I'd share my bilge pump. For anybody who is interested this is what I did. I put a whale super-sub pump with a check valve to a thru-hull fitting. Very simple I have it wired to a switch in front of me. I usually take on water when going thru the surf and all I have to do is flip the switch and watch it fly out the side. I also have a manual pump also to keep me double safe!
