Re: what product do you wish existed?
A wave activated builge pump, i know the Danish have one but exspenive
and i think it only works at the dock. We need one that will work on the hook,something you can simply attach a fender to that will operate a small piston, i always worry about batteries dying.

This is doable, use an old outboard lower end with an oversize prop, Attach a dc perm magnet motor to the drive shaft, run wires to regulator, charge controller. Bingo.

Diesel powered pressure blaster/generator/watermaker 3 in 1
I could live with a petrol powered one

A cheap and reliable 12 volt house sized refrigerator freezer

And a dog that pisses diesel and sh1ts golden nuggets
