Whale Gusher 10 thru-bulkhead

[JMK]

The boat we recently acquired had a Whale Gusher 10 that needed replacing. I had a new Whale Gusher 10 I had purchased a while ago, but never ended up installing in a previous boat. The old pump has an elliptical thru-bulkhead fitting with a neoprene boot. From what I can see on websites, the new replacement fitting is a circular thru-deck or thru-bulkhead piece with the neoprene. Does anyone know if the older style rubber boot is available somewhere? The company is non-responsive by phone or email. The elliptical cutout in the bulkhead would be a tough cosmetic repair as it's on a galley cabinet facing the salon. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you even need the boot? It too is cosmetic?

You know, I had that same "duh" moment about 10 minutes ago. Thanks for the reminder to be practical rather than a perfectionist.
