: Ok, little picture, dinghy bailer. It's a retractable drain, works
: by venturi effect, speed creates a vacuum in the bailer and
: sucks water out of the bilge, once you're moving, if you're not
: it works really well in reverse, fills the boat, thus it can be
: retracted and locked so that doesn't happen.

: They are very effective, will suck 5 gallons of water out of the
: bilge of my Cobra in about 10 seconds. Of course if you forget
: to close it it'll fill the boat just as fast ;)

: Would work just as well with a S&G or stripper but you'd have
: to take the skirt off to use it. Probably a better idea than
: playing around with an electric pump.

: If you do a web search for "dinghy bailer" you'll get
: lots of results.

Oh yeah, sounds like a wet vac when it's working :)
