I removed the cockpit-mounted bilge pump on my 1987 C25 for inspection/service. I found the gasket or bellows portion of the pump was dried and cracked. Has anyone replaced this part, and if so, where can I find the new gaskets.

Responding to my own post....a Google search led me to the Bosworth Company that makes the bilge pump. I dropped them a line to make sure the repacement kit will work on my circa 1987 bilge pump. I'll report back when I hear from them.

Thanks--that'll be good information. I replaced the whole unit recently--mine had a few other problems other than the diaphram. The new one matched up to the bolt holes perfectly.

Dave, Did you replace the original pump with another "Bosworth"? If so, was it the 400 series?
