I have a quick question: what do you use to lube the impeller to let it survive
a wee bit longer in the dry environment before it starts pumping water?
thanks

Mark, if you Y-connect it to the existing bilge pump discharge, don't you
worry about water going back into the bilge via the other hose?
Now a stupid(?) question to the list: can you connect a bilge pump in series
(i.e. to the same discharge hose, one pump at the bilge to keep it dry, the

you said: “The throttle lever slips a little so after extended operation the

You know that there is a little (actually not so little, it is 1/2” or 13 mm

My throttle cable has a little "U" shaped metal device with a 13mm (1/2") bolt
but it is located mid-way on the cable - very easy to get at. A little twist

I think it is best if the automatic electric bilge pump exits high near the
toe rail and before exiting a complete loop in the hose is a good idea and
as suggested a check valve nearer the bilge can help too, that way when the
pump shuts down all the water remaining in the hose won't flow ba
I did much research about bilge pumps and the following are some of my

I have a similar setup. As the big hose from the Whale Gusher runs from the

I've always used vaseline. And change the impeller every other year. It's
cheap and easy maintenance.

To change your list preference
this what was my question.
now to sound really silly – are we talking about the Vaseline hand cream? It

petroleum anything.
I imagine it should not matter that much, because that stuff should be washed

It is, but so is propylene glycol engine coolant. I use it to winterise my raw
water cooled engine because it lubricates, contains corrosion inhibitors, and
is not too hard on the environment. I dump a little more down the intake hose

I use teflon (PTFE) grease because it isn't petroleum-based. It hangs in
really well, when I check my impeller every year there is still some
residue in the pump.

I change the impeller each year.
I pull the impeller after haulout and bag it with the key.
In the Spring I put in the spare or a new one and give last year's a rest. The

Anyone know how to troubleshoot PAR diaphragm pump that pumps great but will
not shut off when reaches pressure. Just keeps on grinding. There is NO air
in system. with faucets open pumps great, great pressure, but when shut
faucets it won't reach pressure and stop. Is there a setting for
Bill, it's very likely the pressure switch. Google up your model number and you
will quickly find an exploded diagram and many sources for parts.
