I'd like to permanently mount an oil removal pump on my Perkins, similar/identical to the little piston pump that was on my old Beta, but I can't find them on line. There are lots of imposters, like the Jabsco, but the one on the Beta was all metal and had a gasketed screw on cap for the spout that prevented drips when done. It was a really nice little hand pump.
Anyone know where I can find one, short of the Beta dealers?
Much appreciated,
John
Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.
I found mine a couple years ago on line..Fynspray bilge style pump. Think I spent $50/60.
Fynspray = all bronze & rated for oil. Not the Classy lever arm pump....
Mine's on a 4-108. My local auto machine shop fabricated a steel reinforced hydraulic hose that goes from the pump to the drain pan. Think it was $30.

I installed a permanently mounted 12 volt oil change pump on my Westerbeke 27 about 7 years ago for approx $90.
This upgrade project can be seen on my web site at: http://www.earlylight160.net76.net/OilChangePump.html

sells em for $75
Yeah, that's it! Thanks! Funny how the listing page shows $75, but when you click onto the detail page the price jumps to $96! Actually the Beta dealer offered it for $75, so I took him up on the offer.
Million Thanks,
John
