Whale Bilgepump

Guys, I need some help. I have an inop Whale Guzzler 400 bilgepump that I can get a kit to rebuild. The problem is it is mounted through the side of the starboard cockpit locker. It has a removable handle. The boot that closes the opening around the shaft of the handle is shot. I looked on Whale's website, no help there. I called the US office and left a message but didn't receive a call back. West and Defender catalogs have nothing either. Whale doesn't even show the Guzzler 400 as one with a detachable handle anymore. Boat is 1972, so I'm not surprised. I have a second pump in the engine comparment, but the one in the cockpit is easier to use. Any ideas? Thx, Dave Dobbs Cal 29 411 Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Buy a new one.....that is what I did on my new boat. The unit was old and is an important part of my boat so it was a no brainer Good luck Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: david dobbs To: ca… [at] yahoogroups.com ; Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 11:17 PM Subject: [Cal_Boats] Whale Bilgepump Guys, I need some help.
