Quick noob questions:

The black bulb inline to the inlet pipes. Is that so you can manually add water should the bilge pump not have power?

The pipe over the top/side: does that have holes in the underside for the water to flow in?


Its to prime the tank, instead of having to use forward propulsion to push water up the inlet under the scupper.

Slap Shot Hockey Gaf
Making gafs for a couple friends...I use my broken composite /carbon fiber ice hockey sticks and they work awesome!! Grips are fantastic.
Nothing fancy just solid, light & functional...

I have a sherwood gaf (made from real wood) that does float. My guess on the graphite is that they will fill with water and sink.

I didn't make them...purchased from Hockey Giant / Hockey Monkey.
They sell them for about $7. They are pre made. Glue on w/ hot water.
Different colors, sizes & lengths.
I'm sure you could use them on any gaff / shaft.

I use regular friction tape to make my grips like the guy in this video. The types of grips are great on a lot of different things.
