emergency use
for a cruiser with a typical 35' monohull ?

I have a:

30 gusher hand pump 1.5" discharge
3000 gpm 12vdc 1.5 discharge
750 gpm 12vdc 3/4" discharge

BUCKET!

plan on getting a portable 11/2" or 2" trash pump diesel powered air
cooled for when I need a real pump.

Okay, ya got me on that one...............

How about Model number "3000 gph." Athough gallions per day might be
closer.

You got good eyes!

but dont I get points for the 2" trash pump for the time when I
actually need a pump?? Or maybe place a salvors lien on somebodies
boat?

PS Oh, and Brian thanks again for the MS strength info. I descided to
go with a 5/16" MS. I did not realize that a 1/4" 316 MS had such a low
SWL.

3000 gallons per minute? You could empty an entire swimming pool in 8
minutes.

A frightened man with a bucket will beat any electric pump hands down.

No ****, during a torrential downpour earlier this year I cleared a good
three feet of water from the well of our basement stairway in what must've
been RECORD time. Five gallons at a time and facing water damage to a lot
of furniture really motivates you to BAIL FAST. But in most boats you've
got nowhere near the room needed to get good clearance to scoop and get it
out of the vessel quickly enough.

Like the saying goes, "The heart is willing but the fetch is weak." Or
something like that... ;-)

Very, very manly, I'd say. (I even caught myself thinking along those
lines at a [ gasp! ] Harbor Freight store where they were showing a
semi-trash pump that looked pretty mean) :-)
