It doesn't look like this particular offer is a bargain http://www.bestmarineimports.com/cgi....cgi?19X362960 but the design looks very interesting. Does anybody have experience with these pumps? I think it would be difficult to shoehorn one into my engine configuration (a V drive with the shaft running back under the engine) but I really like the maintenance free aspect as one less thing to worry about.

FS: Ericson Safety Pump
I installed one about 4 years ago in my Irwin sailboat have had no
problems with the pump. It acts as a blower when no water is present and pumps like all get out when there is water. Its cheap insurance and buys you time at the most critical time. It saved my boat when I hit a submerged object. I was able to make it a marina for immediate haul out. Jake in NJ "Ryk" wrote in message ...
