[Public-List] deck mounted bilge pump

Attached are photos of the front of the pump as well as of the deck
fitting in the cockpit. I have also attached images of the exploded
diagrams of both the Gusher 10 and the Titan. The exploded diagrams
make me think that I have a late Gusher 10. It seems relevant to me
that part that the operating lever is attached is more like the one in
the exploded diagram for the 10 than the Titan. 
Your thoughts.

 Me too…. I consider the electric pump a convenience, but being more
reliable and more powerful, the manual Gusher 10 is the main pump. The
output ratings for electric pumps are measured at the spigot, with no
head. Even a few feet pushing up water reduces this theoretical output
dramatically.
