Hello everyone!

Windy and COOOOLLLDDDD in Hotlanta, but at least it's windy . . . I am rebuilding a Henderson MKIV bilge pump, which, judging from the holes in the cockpit was standard on the '79 C25. Does anyone know a source for the diaphagms? I've 'googled' it but no luck. West doesn't have it but gave me the phone number for Whale, who bought Hederson out a few years back. Catalina Direct is closed today soooo....

I'm hoping one of you has done this and knows that a 'brand XXX model ###' is a direct fit. Or that there's someone who can tell be how to fabricate one out of the appropriate stuff . . . a long shot but hope springs eternal!!

Thanks
David and Sharon Hunt on Solitaire, #800 sk-sr, Marietta GA

Obsolescence is the mother of upgrades, (Master Card is the father).

Thanks -

Turns out a Henderson Mark 5 diaphragm is the replacement part. The intake and exhaust ('flapper') valves are slightly different but the MK5 parts look like they can be modified to work. The rebuild kit was 60% the cost of a 'same volume' replacement but this way there are no holes to drill.
