ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device that uses the rocking or pitching motion of a boat caused by wave action to operate a pump in said boat. Said device functions by being so connected as to use the relative motion between said rocking or pitching boat and a submerged plate that resists vertical motion as a means for operating said pump. The function of said pump and its related mechanism is to automatically discharge water overboard from bottom or bilge of said boat.
