Whale Gusher Galley foot pump has a broken housing - 2017

This shows our test set up.

I briefly point to the part of the Whale Gusher Galley foot pump that is cracked. 


The 1\2 hose we got at the Chula Vista Swap Meet to test the pump.
November 2017 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
We are currently house sitting in University Heights, San Diego CA

What we found was the housing has a crack in it. Where the arrow points we marked it black. That is in a few years we can know where it leaks - that and this blog.
They have the Whale Gusher Galley foot pump at Downwind Marine  and with our discount it would be a bit less than on Amazon. Plus we have the rebuild kit for our Whale Gusher Galley foot pump to return to Downwind Marine as we will not need it because we have the leaky one for parts.
New pump.
We purchased this at Downwind Marine in San Diego.
Then we dismantled the broken one for parts.
This is the piece that broke and that makes the Whale Gusher Galley foot pump leak.

I took the pedal almost out but then decided not to. No need as this old pump will be for back up as the inside parts are still good. Like a re-built kit.

These hose barbs are different. One for in and one for out.
