Description

PDF

This model was created to install the Bosworth Guzzler GF-450D foot pump in a kayak as a bilge pump.  There are two included model, one is a minimum height that places the pump as close to the forward bulkead as possible and another model where the housing has been extended 2 ½ inches.  Also included is a pump flange model and a backplate model.  If spacers are required to bring the pump closer to your feet, the backplate can be used in your slicer to create spacers of any desired height within the limits of your printer.  At the model height of the backplate it can be used on the other side of the bulkhead to provide stiffing support and for sealing off the mounting holes through the bulkhead.

On the housing and backplate I found 15% infill with PETG provides adequate rigidity for pump usage.  The flange as a gasket would be printed in TPU as 100% infill.
