: Mike,

: I second (or is it third) the complements on your model. In addition to
: moving the pump up, I'd recommend tilting it so that the actuator axis is
: perpendicular to the forward slope of the footrest.

: Sam

Sam, I saved the photo you posted of your Schade-footrest-pump installation awhile back, planning to do something similar in the Shooting Star. Apart from the comments you note above, how has the pump worked in practice? And have you ever had to use it in an emergency? Oh , yeah: and how much added weight does it represent in the boat?

Thanks!
