Here is a responsible electric system.

: In one word, Don't.
: You use a pump when you have been rolled and have been unable to right
: yourself. Since you mostly roll because the conditions are too difficult
: for you to handle, if you are able to get back in and upright you need
: maximum stability immediately. A full cockpit is a liability for that and
: so must be emptied as quickly as possible.
: The electric pump isn't there for laziness reasons, but for speed of
: emptying. In Australia most people use them in preference to hand or foot
: pumps for their speed and the ability to get both hands on the paddle at
: once and one's feet employed for balance.
