They sell the basic quart pump at Wal-Mart and West Marine, and most any marine shop. Take the end off the quart pump and stick it on whatever pump you want to make. I've got mine attached to a 1 gallon garden sprayer. It works great.

Bull****...lol...I work in the skilled trades at GM. I'll have one machined 1" longer, and made out of "unobtainium" by first break in the morning...lol. :drink:

3/8-16 thread for the drive.

Sucks to be a machinist, eh? Making parts for my job gets in the way of making parts for my boats. 95% of our work is out of SS. Lots of left over material. :evilb:

I understand that its 3/8-16...I need to know if the hole in the drive is a standard bolt thread...or a tapered pipe thread ? Thanks. :drink:


And yes....we do alot of "side jobs" (we call it government work) for people. :D

:party-smiley-004:

Take a look at any gear lube pump, the fitting on end of pump
hose screws into the drive housing.
Its the hose on the end that gets in the way, hell i dont even mind the little hand pump( but now that i am changing 3 bravos i will probably rig
up a bigger pump tank).
I just want to be able to screw that fitting into the drive without
the hose attached(ala quick release on the other end
of the fitting), that way when im done i can remove the hose
(attached to whatever pump you want) and have one hand removing the fitting and the other hand very quickly placing the drain plug(3/8-16 screw with o-ring) in the bottom fill hole so as to lessen the mess of gear lube draining out.

sorry we cant all work at GM. My dad retired out there two years ago I know what you mean lol.

DIY or order these

The fitting I was asking about, but made myself, before finding this. :lolhit: Look under "Hose assembly and parts" for what you need.
You can order online too! :drink:
