Bilge Pumps

The manual pump

The pump initially looked like it is beyond repair. There was an unused spare part kit on board (80 UK Pounds plus shipping) and probably the broken eye bolt could be found on Lazada or Shopee.

November 14: Spent 2 hours to remove the goo, loose powder coating and the valves. Given that the space in the boat is very limited I also removed the not needed fittings for mounting the pump in different locations.

November 16: Disassembled the pump, removed the goo and corroded metal, and primed the inside with etch primer.
