Hey guys I was just playing around with an idea, about getting a water pump I could connect to my car battery, so I could take water from a container and wash my kayak. I bought a manual pump not long ago but it really falls short delivering the amount water needed to take the sand off the kayak. And since I'm getting a new truck I want to make sure I take as much salt water and sand off the kayak as I can, so I do the least amount of damage to the paint. Have any of you tried this? I was looking at these as options: http://www.amazon.com/Jabsco-31600-0092 ... 12&sr=1-10 http://www.amazon.com/Charge-Portable-R ... 12&sr=1-14 http://www.amazon.com/attwood-6126-7-At ... 28&sr=1-33 http://www.amazon.com/Sierra-Tools-JB56 ... roduct_top What do you guys think? Thanks Dan |

Or, check Ace Hardware for a Wayne portable drill-powered pump... Wayne® Drill Powered Fluid Transfer Kit (DPFTK1) about $17 ... |

Going to give this pump a try, hopefully 1.1GPM at 35 PSI will be enough. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O8 ... PDKIKX0DER  It's an RV water pump. I'll probably adapt it to my car lighter, or maybe just hook it to my fish finder battery Wish me luck Dan |

Good Luck Dan  (but the stylish & functional ferrous oxide finish of your current truck is less costly and less risky !) |

I bought a small 500GPH submersible bilge pump from Bass Pro shops that I use to wash my Pro Angler down at the end of the day and I use my 12V 7Ah fish finder battery to power it. http://www.basspro.com/Rule-NonAutomatic-Bilge-Pumps/product/8991/66179 The pump doesn't do the stated 500GPH it claims which is probably due to my small battery but it does work well enough so that I can get plenty of pressure to rinse off sand, mud and fish slime with the included 3/4" hose and also works for filling/draining bait tanks, and live wells also. |

How big is that pump? Diameter I mean. A friend is letting me borrow one of his marine pumps, going to test it at home during the weekend, see if that works. |

I just bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Shurflo-SHURflo%C ... 12&sr=1-25 And tested it, worked perfect, lots of water pressure. Just have to be smart about how much water I use, it can really move 3.5 gallons in a minute if you just go nuts . Works great with my small fish finder battery. Also good with my car battery |
