I missed some of this thread, but did somebody recommend a small wet-dry
vac? That's a great way to get that last 1/2" of water out of a bilge
area.

A shop vac is also a great ( but last ditch) method of unstopping the head

A small local company around here manufacturers a thing they call
"Cottage/Boat Companion. It looks like a giant syringe about two feet
long and 1.5 inches diameter.
Made of sturdy plastic with a nozzle on one end it can be used to
suck or blow and with an included gasket can also be used to unplug
sinks etc. It is very useful to suck the last inch of water out of
the bilge; filled with water it can be used as a fire extinguisher or
to squirt people and pesky animals. It sprays about 30 feet and I
have used it to chase geese and ducks off my boat and dock. Great fun
for kids in the pool. Our local marine store (GENCO) sells it for
$35.- CAN.

This company makes a good product that can be used for that pesky oil change and also is great for getting the last bit of water from the bilge area. It holds about a gallon and seems to be well made. Another satisfied customer. No connection with company etc. http:/www.pelaproducts.com/

There is a thing called a water bazooka - Widely available at pool stores
and such. It is basically a 3 foot 2inch diameter Syringe. It is designed
for water fights (for which it works well - we have several). It will also
pick up more than a gallon of water at a suck. If you glue a piece of 1/2
tubing in the orifice you can even manuever to tight spaces and zero water.
Best thing is they cost less than $10.

Note that you can then dispose of the water by shooting it at least 50 feet
from your boat causing any oil slick or such to appear next to the boat
across the channel from you.
