Title: Manual Bilge Pump Replacement
Post by: Dulcinea on September 15, 2011, 12:45:11 PM

Does anyone know a vendor whose product matches the mounting holes of the original manual bilge pump, vintage 1978?  Any recommendations appreciated.

My 1980 uses an 'old style' Henderson Mk V.  Although parts are available, unfortunately it would appear that the design (but not the name!) has been changed, and the newer pumps don't line up with the original mounting holes.

If you have the pump 'case', the rebuild kits work well and should be your first stop.  Defender has the parts.

However you thread implies that you don't have any of the old pump.  I did a quick look around and according to this thread: http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?s=38daafb18b1ed96f3e9e7a4983395860&t=284161&page=2  the manufacturer suggests the BP0535 Mk 5 Sanitation pump may work as a replacement.

Let us know how it works out!
