It is quite easy to disassemble and rebuild the pump.You may not need a replacement kit, just clean it out.
You need to fit a Jabsco in line filter when re-installing it.They are not expensive, from memory it is the 3/4" size.
The bits of debris that find their way to the bilge get into the diaphram causing the problem you now have.
Hope this helps.

My Jabsco remote bilge pump is spitting water. The actual pump is working fine. I believe the diaphragm is kaput. I found a replacement kit on Catalina Direct which looks like it provides all I need to repair it. It’s about one third of the cost of a full replacement.
Has anyone used one of these kits? If so, is it a fairly straight forward repair for a mechanically challenged DIY guy?
Thanks as always for the help through this site.
