Bilge Pump Installation
		I installed a Bosworth Guzzler 500 foot actuated bilge pump.  I special ordered the pump with a light action spring.
		Before the pump can be installed, the location of the forward bulkhead must be determined.  A cardboard template was fit to the interior of the kayak.  The template was used to trace the pattern of the bulkhead onto 1/4" plywood.  A stationary belt sander fine tuned the fit.  After shaping, the bulkhead was covered with 6oz. fiberglass cloth.			The bulkhead was temporarily wedged in place with the pump mounted so that I could test the placement of the pump.  Satisfied with the placement, I marked the location of the discharge hole.
					Pump mounted.
		I was happy to see that the discharge pipe aligned with the hole.  A black plastic lawn irrigation fitting was epoxied into the hole and trimmed to the curvature of the kayak.
