[Public-List] manual bilge pump placement

[J Bergquist]

Ed-

I have a whale gusher pump mounted in the port cockpit locker location
as discussed. My exhaust runs out through the center transverse
bulkhead that forms the aft end of the engine compartment/forward end
of lazarette.

Not sure where on the Chesapeake you are located, but my boat is at
the inner harbor marine center in Baltimore and I live aboard so I am
there almost every day. You are welcome to come by any time and look
at my setup. I will be moving the boat back to Annapolis in April but
until then she is at the dock in Baltimore.

e-mail me off list if you want to set up a meeting. I have a pretty
busy schedule between work and school. A weekday evening would be the
best time for me. Matter of fact, a really good time would be March 11
when we have scheduled a racing happy hour at the marina restaurant
(The Rusty Scupper), and for which you would be welcome to join us,
even if you don't plan on doing any racing.

Kind regards,

J Bergquist

It is of the tubular type, a la Beckson and the locker must be open to operate the pump.  This is the factory original set up on my boat and not a good arrangement, but is does function.
