In Response To: Re: Pump outflow/compass mount (Jim Owens)

: I've heard that the Guzzler's button is poorly positioned for pumping with
: one's foot. You state that you've mounted it high enough to work.

Why not mount it horizontal? Run the exhaust out near the sheer. On the intake side, use a gray PVC elbow and clear PVC tubing to run the intake down to the center of the hull. A simple stum box can be made from a white PVC 1/5"-1" elbow.

In my Nordkapp, I run the intake from the deck pump along the sheer, then down to a such a PVC elbow strum box right in front of the seat.
