Subject: Bilge pump
Info: (13888 views) Posted: Saturday 3-1-14 12:50:28 PM

the pump is a Boswell Gusler G500. $78 at Swens. While it is out, contact Boswell and order a pair of Duck bill valves which will make it work much better. Also work out a pickup in the bilge box that is very near the bottom but standing off but a couple of screw heads. I used a fitting which is a screen that connects into the pickup hose. I added a few 5-32 screws so it cannot contact the bottom and choke itself off. I end up with one or two milimeters of water in the bilge after pumping.

:: My manual bilge pump is not working for pumping out the
:: keel box. Does anyone know which make and model would
:: replace the current one?

:: Thanks!
