Plus free shipping with Prime!

So, I guess you already have one? Anyone have one mounted yet?

the that were shipped to euro & C/E approved I believe had one mount on the port side in the cock pit I did see a pic of one somewhere with the handle in a vertical angle

Hmmm, wonder if it would fit in the cavity between the gas tank trunk and the transom? Hmmmm.

ok I will bring a pic next time when near my CE with the manual bilge pump setting

I found this link scroll down to misc. equip. & u,ll see the Whale Manual Pump cover & handle looks like it is installed inside the rear of the S/B side fuel tank storage area as u can see the hinge above it for the S/B seat lid

here,s the manual pump just not sure if this is the model they used or which mounting brkt, maybe someone who has a C/E approved boat can chum in with the mod # as they should have got the pump instruction & parts manual when they bought the boat

You know John, that does make a lot of sense - that is a good place for it:




If the boat is swamped and your trying to bail the last place you want to be is down below under water.
Having whale pump out in the cockpit makes a lot more sense - I noticed that's where whales pumps are on all the big old sailboats I see in the marina.

yes, it's just the same place on my CE never used so fare...

Hey John, since out boats don't sink do we really need whales pumps?

Only if you want the ability to re-float after some patchwork. Also the evacuation of the holding tank as a secondary use.

It,s a requirement for C/E approval . 1 electric bilge & 1 manual bilge pump along with 2 deck handles ,aft rails , electric horn , plus what ever ?

For what they cost they r pretty cheap insurance that just might save not only ur life but also ur investment & if u r in an area where the water is pretty much cold most of the yr like the NWP , u don,t wanna be swimmin with the great Orca,s killer whale,s for too long

J
PS remember u r not necc. gonna always b able to get bailing bucket access to where ever u have water intrusion but a 1" to 1 1/2" hose should b able to reach pretty much any where on a mac hopefully , it,s something I may consider once I,m al done my list of Mods !

NO electric horn for CE!

I decided on a Whales Pumps and this is the one I am going to get:



It looks like this ^ see picture above ^ (it has a picture of a whale on it - that was the deciding factor for me),

and it works like this v (see video below) v :

It's the same pump company you guys recommended.

don't know if this pump is so comfortable for your hands in an emergency. There is no handle to grab...

But it has a whale picture!
