Manual Hand Bilge Pumps

[vyv_cox]

- but I'm not sure what that has to do with my suggestion of where to mount the pump.

Really? I thought it was pretty obvious. Just because one thing seems to have been done right don't assume everything has.

Well the 'mighty' Whale gusher Urchin has arrived today....
I'll report back on whether it's a good buy or if I'll be sulking

I'll take a pic of the 'classic' that's coming out, in case anyone is interested

Evening folks,

My manual bilge pump, though attractive (in a classic way) appears to be about as old as the boat... OLD! and more importantly, doesn't work.

Can anyone recommend a reasonable fixed hand pump that I can mount in one of the cockpit lockers. I've seen them from around 20 -30 quid but are there any which forum members have found favourable?

She's only 23ft and distance from bilge to pump is about 8ft or so, so it doesn't need to be anything special.

As ever, thanks in advance.

if you have a Lavac you can adapt a remote / wandering pipe to fit into the bowl exit hole.
we have a diverter valve in the outlet pipe & can pop a wandering hose onto the spare port of said valve
