Thanks,
That's just what I have been looking for.

: Hi there.

: I've installed several Guzzlers. I recommend the horizontal-handled 500
: model. It's easy to adapt to the front bulkhead of the cockpit so that you
: can use your feet to pump while you are regaining control of the boat. For
: a return spring I use a lightly-tensioned bungee running from the 'toe' of
: the foot-handle to a fairlead jam cleat mounted under the deck just ahead
: of the cockpit.

: If the photo here works (and it's been spotty today), it's of the
: internally-sprung foot 'button' model, which looks nicer than it works.

: There are other brands available, and making your own is not beyond the
: competent do-it-yourselfer. Your local power/recreational boating supplier
: may well have one or two models or be able to order one for you if you
: can't find anything on the web. Last I knew, you couldn't order Guzzlers
: on the www., but they were available locally (Seattle metro) in at least
: three different suppliers.
