Micro by Shop Vac (R)

Meet my new friend Mic, yeah he sucks but wet or dry he's there for me. Compact and light... Total impulse buy, think I paid $25 on sale.  

Right away I threw away the paper filter and used the foam sleeve filter. 
























When I need more filtration, I cut off some old pantyhose and stretch a leg over the foam filter. 

A  strip of inner tube makes a large rubber band to hold the pantyhose over the foam filter.

Wet vac is great for cleaning out the 4 foot deep bilge well...
