[Public-list] Installing the Hands Free Galley Sink Pump

[Bob Crinion]

Hi Randy,

Last night I visited the boat with templates from the Whale tiptoe pump and
the Whale Babyfoot Pump and felt that neither pump would fit as well as the
gusher pump you suggest.

It looks like the Whale Gusher pump is the best choice so far for a manual
hands free pump in the galley. Thanks for the suggestion regarding the
location of the slot in the sink cabinet.

Cheers,

-bob

Greetings, to Bob,
I also installed the gusher pump recently. It was a cinch and is a
  welcome device after ages of using the one-hand sink pump.
The most challenging part was cutting a slot in the side of the sink
  cabinet for the pump pedal to stick out through.

I'd suggest cutting the slot as far fwd as you can: I put it about in
  the middle of the cabinet and find that my foot gets a bit pinched
  between the companionway ladder and the pump pedal. A small think,
  but I pass that along as what came to mind as an improvement.

I converted my hand pump to sea water (there were two through-hulls
  under the sink), which is convenient at times for SW rinsing.

  Best of Luck,
