[C320-list] Jabsco Bilge Pump

[Paul Rickman]

Dean,
 
On three different occasions my Jabsco pump has gotten debris
in the diaphragm. It is a simple matter to just remove the debris
and you'll be back in shape is my bet. Before spending money
take the pump apart and check it out.

Hi All,

On our C320, #847, the bilge pump is a Jabsco.  It is difficult to read the label that has the model number, but it starts with "3720" and ends with "000".  (I know this sounds like a joke.)  I need to either get a service kit or replace the pump.

Anyway, I believe this pump to be the same as, or equivalent to, the Jabsco "Par Shower Drain Pump", model 37202-2012, in the West Marine Catalogue (link <http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=406947&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50632&subdeptNum=50661&classNum=50662>).

Is this the pump that others have?  If so, have you replaced the diaphragm in it, or did you replace the pump?

Thanks in advance,
Dean Vermeire
