Val,

I modified Nick’s design so that the pump fits into the body of the sliding brace and the actuator extends out through the center. A short length of flexible hose connects the pump to the through-deck fitting. The hose is just long enough to allow full adjustment of the brace. The pick-up end is a short piece of hose that slides along with the brace.

In the Chesapeak, there is plenty of room for me shift a foot over to the center of the brace and still be able to actuate the pump. I suppose for taller people, or smaller volume cockpits, one may need to mount the pump on the bukhead.

Sam
