Extra Bilge Pump

[Captain of the Double G's]

I always have an extra bilge pump with the alligator clips and extra wire.
I know others have probably mentioned it before but this is a reminder.
Sometimes I bring it along on friends boats or when on a different vessel, its cheap insurance

An exercise in futility….

A portable bilge pump is not going to keep with a hull breech. If push comes to shove, time would be better spent sending a DSC and preparing the crew to abandon ship.

A couple minutes more before sinking could save a life.

The obvious question…why carry a wired bilge pump and length of hose around in your dry bag when you could simply install the pump in the hull proper and call it good?
