Drain plug goes inside....

For people that fish in heavy rain like many of us get caught in sometimes.... You need a bilge pump......

I troll a lot for Salmon in rivers where there are many boats. I do not have the luxury of pulling the plug and speeding up as there are too many boats in the way.

I have fished on heavy rainy days when the bitting was great and the boat would fill up with water to my ankles.
The only way to get rid of the water was my bilge pump.
Either an automatic one or manual is mandatory for my needs....
