[Rhodes22-list] Wallace's Kayak

[Wally Buck]

Actually they electric pumops provide plenty of power. I use them on my 
mountain bike and air mattresses. The pumps I have seen would not accomadate 
the fitting needed to screw into my kayak. The concern expressed in the 
manual was due to over inflating. Now that I think about it more they were 
probably recomending against using a real air compressor.
