Fab1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Had a request from a neighbour if I'd make him a sleeve like mine to protect his yabby pump from damage. It's just a piece of notched pvc that the pump fits in snugly. Simple but affective. These two pics are my yabby pump stored on my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikea Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I always found yabby pumps to be very sturdy and not prone to damage. But seems a good method to keep them out of the way. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 How do you protect the rubber inside from perishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 How do you protect the rubber inside from perishing?I always wash my pump out with fresh water after use and as for the plunger rubber I have a lifetime supply of thongs(the ones for your feet)that I make new plunger washer rubbers from when required.Cheers.

Thanks Fab, Cheers Paikea Whilst looking at these at work last night It occurred to me that those white rubbers are going to make great yabby pump washers and with a couple of slots great protection under my tie down ratchet straps on the boat and who knows what else.Cheers.
