Whale Smartbail bilge pumps allow manual hand or foot operation. Simple diaphragm construction. A great backup, manual pumps continue to operate in emergency situations when onboard electrical systems have shut down.
Reviews for Whale Smartbail Manual Bilge Pumps
Used the pump very little. Each time it was used the hinge showed signs of being overworked. Plastic handle which doubles as a cover plate cracked where it attached to the diaphragm. The dovetail plastic insert pulls out of the handle. Useless. Clearly a bad design. Failed when I needed it. Customer service wouldn't even give me the address to ship it to for repair.

After one season of moderate use the diaphragm developed a leak on one of the folds that are created from operating the pump. The service kit is hard to get and expensive. Even when it's functional it doesn't have a smooth even stroke. The low profile concept is appealing but the design needs work. Not recommended.
