ABSTRACT:
An automatic bailer is used to remove water from an open vessel such as a whitewater canoe. The bailer utilizes a submersible pump that is connected to a power supply through flexible connections. These flexible connections allow flexural movement between the pump and the power supply which may be due to flexure of the floor of the vessel to which the bailer is securely yet removably attached or which may be a result of variations in vessel floor contours or configurations.
