alternative to a conventional pump

Any Boat, Gear, or outdoor related item you have for sale. If you use it on a paddling trip, or to prepare for one, it's fair game.

alternative to a conventional pump

Post by sbroam »

Just saw one of these *link* on woot.com (woot-off today).

This could be an alternative to a conventional pump. After swamping or rolling, just switch this on and let it float around spraying the water out until your boat is dry. You could tether it in if you were afraid it would get away.

That's a lot cheaper than an Attwood pump, switch, and sealed lead acid battery, too.

Someone needs to get one and test it. I would be interested in hearing other people's comments.

I find it strange that they don't list how many GPM it pumps. It is almost like they designed it for some other purpose!

Just be sure you mount it behind the pedestal - not sure how it would work up front with offside strokes. ;)

Scott

Looks interesting, but since there are no flow rates or other technical information posted can you post some video of yours in action. What color goes with yellow Mohawk hull?
It's a Howler!

Scott (sdbrassfield), I think the flotation that James got for you and Richard might work better for you.

Agitation helps clarify. The water, I mean.

Admission of dense-ness. I've visited this thread three times, and I've visited woot.com twice, and I have no idea what "pump" is under discussion. :o
