To all,
On the bilge pump. I did some research on the original pump and came up with
a new version that Jamestown Distributors carry. Any one have any experience
with this?

Bill, if I am understanding correctly, the fresh water pump is not
self-priming. The bilge pump must be. They are entirely different kinds of
pumps. I'm thinking that the best bet is to replace with a labeled "bilge
pump." They are not expensive and will buy you peace of mind.

OK group, here’s what I’ve got planned for this spring.
1) Stuffing box, I’m going to redo the stuffing box. I’d like to set it up
to drip as little as possible. What should I buy and what size?
2) Musty odor, the boat has developed some musty odors coming from under the
sink and other closed spaces. I was thinking of using a a chlorine spray
mixture and spray where I have access and then rinse it down to the bilge.
3) Bilge pump, my bilge pump is leaking water when it runs (Jabsco model
37202-0000). I have a spare pump from the fresh water system. Any reason why
I couldn’t use this pump to replace the bilge pump?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
