Why no bailers in sea kayaks?

@Overstreet

A. You need to obtain 4mph and keep it for the bailer to work.
B. The Andersen bailers leak. (Same as s my exp. in the 70s)
C. There’s still water in the bottom of the kayak due to the relative thin hull and flange height of the bailer.

Thanks Overstreet.

I have done electric bilge pumps on all my sea kayaks. here is a link to one of my long gone kayaks from years back https://pbase.com/dc9mm/kayak_bilge_pump

My setup is 3 pounds total including battery which is only 9 ounces. My current Valley Avocet and Tiderace Pace 17 tour have pumps installed. You can say do a re-enter and roll pop your skirt back on and the boat will be pumped out in less than a minute. Faster than any manual pump, plus the skirt is in place the whole time. . there are links to videos of my setup in description at top.
