Hi Jesse !

The valve price does sound a bit stiff. It IS a specialized valve,
with a handle that really suits our use, but maybe you could find
something at a hydraulic supplier .... Let us know if you do !
Maybe that included the pressure guage - another special item ???

I got a quote from Nancy for the pump and selector. I can grit my teeth and
plunk down $300. for the pump, but $320. for the selector? Thats one pricey
little valve. Does that sound like the correct price, and if so is there an
off-the-shelf alternative?
Thanks
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

The skylight kit is 85.00 USD (in stock)

hydraulic hand pump is 305.67 USD would need to check all the parts for
the assembly

selector valve is would need to order one for you , do not have any in
stock. 323.15 USD ......... wouldn't take more then a week to get in.

Nancy was kind enough to give me the part# for the gear selector. It's made
by Barksdale part #9021-m. Available from FLW Inc. for $120. USD.
800-576-6308. The only thing I'm not sure of is that there are three
versions of the valve; open center, closed center, and 4-way where all ports
are blocked in the center position. I believe that is the one I want, but
can someone confirm that? $200. is quite a savings I'd say, now I'm trying
to get the part # for the pump. I would also like to use a flush panel mount
pressure gauge. Can someone give me the pressure range of the standard gauge
so I can try to find an equivalent panel mount one?
Getting this stuff from another source will only pay off if MAM will deduct
their quoted prices from my amphib kit when that time comes, so we'll have
to wait and see on that, but at least I don't have to lay out as much cash
right now.
Thanks
Jesse

Hi Jesse I'm pretty sure the pump is manufactured in house so I doubt
you'll have any luck there. I think the price you were quoted on the pump
is pretty reasonable. I had to replace both the check valves in mine and I
think they were about $75 each. I think my pressure gauge goes from
0-1200lbs but it's impossible to pump more than about 300lbs so you don't
use most of the range. It's not hard to fit all this stuff afterwards so
why marry yourself to murphy floats now when something better might be
available by the time you're ready for floats.

Thanks Drew,

You're correct, I just got another email from Nancy confirming Murphy does
make the pump. Thanks for the advice to wait. It's just that I want
everything to have a spot, rather than having to rearange stuff later. I
could probably leave space without actually installing the hydraulics
though. Would you be able to give me some basic dimensions for the pump? The
spacing of the mounting holes, length of the handle, and height of handle
from the floor in its down position would probably give me enough info,
along with Wayne's pictures, to plan a suitable spot. I am building a
console between the seats, and that's the main reason I wanted the pump now,
so I can make sure it doesn't interfere with the handle.

I'll try to get the dimensions tommorrow and take some pictures for ya.
When the handle is in the down position my knuckles just touch the floor.
Theres also a couple of peices of angle that go from the pump forward on
the floor to distribute the down force from the handle.
