Suck Up
Edson’s 120ELB electric diaphragm pump ($2,673) can pump 40 gallons of liquid per minute. Good for when a seacock fails or if there is a significant leak in the engine room, the 120ELB can pump liquid that contains large, suspended solids, can run dry and has a suction lift of up to 18 feet, so even from the lowest part of the bilge you can reach over the side. Available in heavy-duty bronze or lightweight aluminum, the pumps can be used for emergency dewatering, cleaning up spills and transferring gray water. Edson Marine, 508-995-9711; www.edsonmarine.com
