I was trying to decide on a foot pump or an electric pump and when all was said and done I decided to use a sea sock. (will be buying one soon) Foot pumps and hand pumps take a fairly long time to remove water (electric would be a little better) but with a sea sock, as soon as you reenter most of the water is gone. In fact the people I have talked to, say that there is so little water left that pumping it out is almost impossible. I will keep the hand pump as a back up. My choices in order of preferance were; sea sock, electric pump, foot pump and finally the hand pump. Will re-examine the hand pump backup and probably change.
