In Response To: Gusher or Guzzler (Brian Nystrom)

The Bosworth Company model 400 Guzzler is rated at 10 gpm. They will configure it to suit your needs with a variety of fittings and actuating mechanisms, including a couple that can be foot operated. I ordered mine with plain fittings and a foot button actuator. Price was around $50.

I installed mine with the outlet fitting poking out of the peak of the foredeck. A short piece of hose extends straight down from the inlet fitting to within about 1/16" inch of the hull. This setup removes all but a few spongefuls of water from the boat. I haven't found a need for any sort of strainer, and the stock spring pressure is goldilocks (just right).

The water spurting out of the top of the deck reminds me of a whale spouting, but judging by the off-color comments I often get, it evidently evokes a different imagery for others.
