Anyone tried these manual bilge pumps?

Hello everyone.

Researching for a deck mounted bilge pump to install in my cockpit of my 38 Regate and came across this manufacturer.
I'm particularly interested in the Skipper SD60 to mount through deck.
The pump and it's repair kit are much cheaper than others similar and wondered if any forumites have any experience of them?

Thanks in anticipation and apologies if this thread already been flogged to death-still finding my way around the site!

Well, "Fisherman" (who is indeed a professional fisherman) seems to think they're good: http://www.ybw.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3588267&postcount=7

Patay is a familiar name even if I have no personal experience.

Used to manufacture pumps for the Post Office so hardly fly by nights

Patay pumps were included in a PBO group test a while back, but I can't remember how they fared.
