<< It took quite a long time to get the rest of the water out of the bilge
using a hand pump (the kind I use for my kayak). Such a pump would be
totally useless had not most of the water already been pumped out. slf

I guess that is why I am an advocate of the Rule 1500 and 2000 bilge pumps...
After flippin my Sovereign 13 and bailing for an hour with a bucket I got a
portable battery operated pump tied to a float. Next time I flipped that
thing I just sat and waited for the portable bilge pump to bail it out. Still
took 15 mins.

BTW: it's heartening to watch that 2000 gpm Rule bilge pump throw water outa
da boat...
