In Response To: Re: Guzzler (Mike Hanks)

I installed a Guzzler 500S in my Guillemot Exp Single and have been very happy with it. West Marine can get them for you from Bozworth but the ones with the foot peddle (400s or 500s) are not listed in the West cataloge. Look in the Technique/Gear board archives. There was an extensive discussion some months back on different ways to mount the pump and the discharge hole.

I have used it quite a bit in rolling practice and paddle float rescue practice. I can empty a fully swamped boat in 1-3 min. It does take some effort with your calf to pump continuously but I feel that it is far superiour to a hand pump in a real emergency.
