Can any of you make a recommendation for an electric bilge pump to use in
our Prijon Kodiak and Seayak boats? They are plastic boats with foam
bulkheads.


Hi: I have a Kodiak with a Rule 25-S, 500 gph pump. The unit is very
small (4"hi x 2.5" dia) and has a built in actuation switch with a
3/4" output. About $45. I use a 3.5 AH POWERSONIC gel cell. All
mounted behind the seat. The battery is waterproof and totsally sealed
as is, and I've sealed the wiring contacts with aquarium sealant. The
output hose goes directly out the side above the waterline using the
standard 3/4" bilge bulkhead fitting. All available at amy marine
store. Fair winds RW
