• Jul. 24, 2008 - Galley Pump Failure

We had our Whale Galley Foot pump fail today.  It is quite old so no biggie.  One thing I would like to rant about.....why don't the new ones fit the same holes as the old ones? 

The latest model of the whale (version III) is almost identical to the earlier ones but the Whale people have seen fit to move the mounting holes in the feet about a quarter of an inch.  That means redrilling two of the four mounting holes.  How stupid!  The thing is, Sea Dog makes an identical pump that is slightly cheaper and it fits the holes left by the older model Whale.  Smart!

We now have a Sea Dog foot pump in our galley.
