There is certainly nothing wrong with having a centrifugal as a back up
too. You can set the level switch higher in the bilge so that it only runs
when the capacity of the gusher is exceeded.
For what it is worth I was in a pinch and ran to Walmart LATE one night
after the local chandleries were
I have to agree with Danny. I mounted a Whale Gusher and it does a much better
job of sucking the bilge dry than any of the centrifugal pumps that start
picking up air earlier and then cannot pull any more water out. Those always

For anyone else considering these sails, feel free to reach out to me.
I've agree to hold on to them for Ron but will likely never use them. I
have the triple spreader rig and have had a new sail made for my boat.
It's luff length is 51' 2.5". I had it cut slightly short so that it would
