| My whale "gusher" (or something like that) is about 18 years old.
Works fine. No obvious deterioration. The only problem is that
it gets clogged easily.

We had to rebuild out "gusher" every 10 years or so.
Look for things in your bilge that may destroy rubber,
such as hard chemicals, and harsh cleaners. Another worry
is if your pump is trying to push sharp objects through it.

| The pump referred to in .0 had not even been used once. It's a
backup to an electric. It had, however, been in direct sunlight,
and the diaphragm was cracked and checked where it bends sharply.

| I rebuilt my Guzzler 500 this Spring. The previous owner hadn't
even hooked it up and when I tried to, it didn't work. All the
parts, diaphram and valves looked OK but the valves must have been
too stiff to work. Mine's not in sunlight so we'll see how it lasts.
