respect the ocean 2. MY experience

[svendawg]

I test my hand pump just about every time I wash my kayak. I usually give my kayak a good spraying inside the hull when cleaning, with the bow down. When I have finished washing the yak I use the hand pump to suck the water out (usually a gallon or two)
By doing this I know the pump is it good shape. Try it you'll be surprised how good it works.
