I`ve been rehabbing a 1988 Precision 23 brought home a few weeks ago. In the evenings in the downstairs. , Ive been looking at and working on the interior stuff, cushions, the stove, table etc. Tonight I started looking at the small hand pump/sink set up. To get the pump out , I had to squeeze all the way down into the lazzarette, starboard side and reach forward and under the sink to undo the big plastic nut holding the pump onto the fiberglass countertop. This was only possible because I`m down 30 lbs. since March, otherwise I would have had to hire a grandson.
The pump itself is a "Whale", made in Northern Ireland. I soaked and cleaned it (soaking again now) and amazingly it still works. Now, feeding the pump is a plastic tube about 30 inches long, female coupler on the end. I guess it is garden hose type because it threaded onto the faucet of my downstairs utility tub next to the washer. Obviously this attached to some sort of plastic jug to supply water, anyone have any info on that jug, or one like it??? Dave Condon, Jerry in Ohio??
To all who made suggestions before, I have all inside and outside lights working now, re sealed Chainplate tops with MS tape, resealed the cockpit drains with 4200. Still need to get a deep cycle battery. Any sizing suggestions ?. I know about "Group 24", what about Ampere hours ratings?. I plan to recharge with a trickle charger maintainer for the time being, I`m not planning on getting gell, just a generic deep cycle (if there is such a thing) Thanks, Dave
