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.
