Our larger bilge pump has sprung a leak around its diaphragm. It was in the boat when we bought it and I don't have any documentation on what it is. Anyone familiar with this? There are no stickers or number plates that I can find. Any info would be appreciated.
You might check with a larger chandler for a rebuild kit. And, send a photo to the Jabsco folk for their input.
Rather expensive. We have a couple of the Jabsco 37202 model series pumps, originally installed by EY, and I have had to replace only one of them. Good quality kit, IMO.
Jabsco's light-duty diaphragm pumps are ideal for shower sump, sink drain, and bilge applications. Shop for marine-grade sump pumps at Fisheries Supply.
Thanks Loren. That confirms what I was thinking. I found that the survey mentioned a Jabsco pump but doesn't have the model number.
Almost have it out from its mounting place, maybe I can find a serial number or something so I get the right kit.
Ok, turns out it's a Peters & Russell C-5623. Seems Jabsco bought them out years ago.
The repair kit for the Jabsco 36600 looks exactly like what I'm seeing after opening this up. Amazon has a 36600 repair kit. Arrives day after tomorrow. We'll see.
So If anyone has an old Peters & Russell C-5623 pump dutifully performing its job, it can be repaired with the current Jabsco Service Kit #30124-0000. Kit contains new valves, belt, diaphragm, and pulsation dampener. Parts fit exactly. Will reinstall and check for leaks when we go back to the boat tomorrow.
It is definitely old school, but it is great isn’t it. I don’t know if it was factory installed but it does what it’s supposed to do. Now it should do it a few more years.
Grandpa would be proud that we didn’t throw it out.
