I used the Sportguard when I was pumping and rafting. It's worn like a belt, clipped around the waist. I've no idea if it'll work for your MM 715, I can't even remember what MM model pump I had at the time! But I would definitely get something to protect it from water and rocks. Even though it'll be a novice river run, you could still get chucked in! The Sportguard was a bit uncomfortable with the lifejacket, but I'm so glad I had it because I did intermediate/advanced river runs and got chucked out of the boat and bashed around the rocks plenty of times! I also tried disconnecting from my pump without taking any long acting insulin for a halfday river run because the clip on my Sportguard broke and I refused to give up my rafting trip.... I don't recommend that at all unless you want to be puking all the way down the river! Or if you do disconnect for the trip, be prepared and have a vial of longer-acting insulin on you!
