Very glad your ok Tom! I had Andy install an automatic bilge pump that pumps water out of the kayak if the kayak reaches a certain level. There is a floating arm that goes up when the water starts to fill inside the kayak. I recommend this pump to everyone! That water flows out big time with a 12 volt battery. When I used to use the huge ice cooler as a bait tank on my Stealth 14, it was just too much weight and water would leak into the back hatch. I felt really safe with that pump.
