Today's Fun Quiz - How many pumps?

[Favunclerich]

There are lots of pumps on our boats. Probably more than you considered. Let's make a list of all the factory supplied pumps on a well-equipped R-27. I'll start with a few;

The engine oil pump.
The forward bilge pump.
The aft bilge pump.
The thing that the steering wheel is attached to.
The raw water washdown pump.

Many more.......

Terrific lists. This is fun. I've not read all responses carefully, but I don't think I've seen these mentioned:
- engine oil pump (other engines too... generators?)
- engine (diesel) injection pump <EDIT: somebody mentioned the engine high pressure pump>
- (the) engine IS an air pump
- inverter/charger may well have a fan, which is indeed a pump.
- propeller! This may be pushing the original question. Or not.

I use a portable electric pump for draining engine coolant from petcock.

One reason we converted to the airhead was to eliminate 3 pums. Not to mention all the associated hose, fittings, wiring, etc.
