[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 397271, member: 15465"] Good point! Never though of that failure mode. At least your intake is alum, mine is SMC, even worse. I actually had thought of keeping a float & compressor (e.g. inner tube) on board, because if I ever have to work on the pump in cold water, I wouldn't have to get wet (it was 90F the other day, not so bad). A float could also be handy if there was a major breach like you described. Where I boat there isn't anyone coming by to rescue you. I have a trolling motor for backup propulsion. Not very fast but I would at least keep directional control in the current. Boating upstream is a hard & fast rule. [/QUOTE]
