[QUOTE="nathanielrthomas, post: 194773, member: 1207"] I see your logic, and I have used this method, but I wouldnt rely on it. I was over in Greers Ferry, AR, last year and out of nowhere came some crazy strong wind. Whitecaps were insane, waves coming over the edge of the boat, the works. It was hard enough just saying afloat. I definitely would not want to rely on running the boat to remove the water(I woulda been swimming had I tried). Sometimes there are emergency needs for a bilge pump, and for that reason, I recommend one in every boat. Not all of us have the stablility(and means of propulsion) of a bass boat. Some of the guys are running 10 footers on nothing but a trolling motor. Bottom line is: A bilge pump can save your boat, gear, and most importantly, your life. [/QUOTE]
