Tinker

The pump in action

Sunday I paddled with most of the regular crowd. They're a great bunch of people, full of fun. At one point Cyde jumped out of his boat to do a back-deck scramble-on recovery. Then someone suggested to Sean we'd like to see his electric pump in action. He obliged by lifting his skirt and allowed water to enter his cockpit.

While reattaching his skirt he turned on the pump and there was more hilarity as we laughed at the "geyser" that sprang from his boat.

The electric pump is one of numerous "projects" that Sean has done. Sean's blog has installation instructions for the pump, and other tinker endeavours worth checking out.

  1. Tony: You're lucky you got that picture when you did. I was using a 12 year old battery that couldn't old a charge so it cr@pped out just after this picture was taken. The "geyser" is normally twice that height!!

    I now have a new battery to put in!! That's my project for tonight.

  2. Twice as high, I'm looking forward to seeing that in full operation!
