manual galley pumps

[timebandit]

Personally I would install a small eletric pump with a momentary 'on' foot switch.

More work and far more likely to fail. More expensive too.

I was thinking of something like this--
has a rebuild kit to but for this price you could just keep a spare--
It would also supply water to the head so you would not need another foot pump there--

yeah, but if you have a foot switch at the head, won't it be pumping water out at the galley at the same time, unless you go for the more expensive pressure water type faucets, in which case you might just as well have a full pressure system in any case, and not bother with installing the switches....

Anyone ever hooked a whale gusher up to a sprayer?

my boat has combo faucets if the pump is on turn the knob makes the water come out, if the pump is off you unscrew the knob and it becomes a manual pump. i dont know how well they work as manual pumps as a put a new pump on board, it only draws 3 amps when running and has a pressure switch.

Yep, you are right about that--oops
