It is important to have a bilge pump with you on the water. This allows you to quickly remove any water from the cockpit if you capsize or have a wave come over the side of the boat without a spray skirt on. The best kayak bilge pump is a reliable one. You won’t find fancy features or gimmicks on them. But at Best Kayak Accessories, it’s an important kayak safety gear to have with you.
