Hey, I need to service (replace bladder) my manual bilge pump. It's a "Guzzler" and I'm trying to figure out if it is the 400 or 500 model. Can't see anything on it that says. The 400 has 1" ports and I checked, mine are 1". But it is also the through deck model, which West Marine says is only offered in the 500! Can anyone help me solve this mystery?

Guzzler does make a 400 in the through deck model. Its oulet is 1".

The Guzzler 500 through deck model has a 1-1/2" outlet.

Excellent. Thank you, man. Pretty sure I have the 400, then.

I also have the 400 which seems to have mysteriously crapped out over the winter (pouring a gallon of highly diluted softscrub water into the bilge to kill the winter critter growth turned out to be a nice test of a key piece of safety equipment!)

Picked up a rebuild kit at WM for $20, normally the words "rebuild kit" are terrifying to me however i was assured this one is painless.

I'll be doing the same, though I've got to order my kit since the local store barely sticks any sailing supplies. Coincidentally, a desire to clean out the muck from the bilge is what prompted my repair as well.
