Stowing bilge pump?

A leash! very sensible idea Allen. Better safe than sorry, or sunk!

To me, taking on water is the biggest fear, especially being far from shore. That pump could be the difference between staying afloat, or taking a very long swim! Allen is right, take no chances when it comes to safety!

Hmmm, reminds me of a story involving the "Graveyard of the Pacific"

Similar to Pole, I bungee it around a scupper post. It's wrapped so that it's held in place but all you have to do is pull and the bungee releases the pump. I have it in the hatch in the middle though so you don't have to scoot forward. That's where the water is going to settle anyway.

Pole and Zee, my bilge pump is now leashed and accessible. Hopefully I will never have to use it for serious flooding, but if I do, I know where it is! Thanks for the advice!

Anytime! It's nice to know it's ready and waiting there eh?
