[C320-list] Bilge pump not pumping

[Bryan Campbell]

Try priming it with a water hose before you tear into it. The hose may flush
out your problem.

Mine did the same thing.  I just took it apart and it had somehow moved off
where it was suppose to fit.  Put it back and has worked fine since.  About
6 years.  Easy to do.

Just got back from a short 3 day cruise on the way back (even though I know
I need a new float switch) my bilge pump failed to pump water out of the
bilge.

Electric motor pumping.
Took a hanger to both sides and made sure no blockages.

Here's the question
Can I rebuild the diaphram on the pump section? If so where is the best pace
to get it.

Or do I need to replace the whole unit?

Would like to hear from anyone with a similar proble or have replaced the
pump.

Thanks
Rick
