Installation 
 Folks,

 Seems that manual bilge pump are often installed through the vertical
side
 of the cockpit foot well. The result is that the handle must be moved
 vertically, up and down. The handle needs to move 11-1/2" inches.
 Appears that the lower end throw is about 5-1/2" below the pivot
point, or
 so I am guessing. Measuring 5-1/2" up from my fist when my arm hangs
loose
 at my side comes out to be about level with the top of the seat on
which I
 am sitting. The operator of the pump has to either sit on the cockpit
sole
 or sit on the seats and hunch over to reach down to the bottom of the
 handle's throw.

 Anyone ever seen an installation of a manual bilge pump for side to
side
 action or even on the flat of the cockpit seats so that the action is
from
 front to back while sitting next to the installed pump. Realize that
 sitting on the pump cover aint gonna be the most comfortable
position.
