[C320-list] Spares List

[P.F. Ross]

And I would suggest some parts for your Jabsco toilet pump.  I carry an
entire pump assembly, made up of good parts from the three times I have
rebuilt my pump over the 30 years I have owned my boat.

One of the last things you want to have happen is to not have a working
head when you are out on a long daysail with landlubber friends.  Ask me
how I know this.
