Excalibur Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I have a '78 chinook newport that I am going through and getting everything working properly. Its water system consists of a tank, a "Par single fixture pump" that looks screwed directly into a bung in the tank, and a electric pump/faucet combo (see it at http://www.dyersonline.com/leisure-components-triple-action-hand-pump.html) - very simple - no hot water heater or anything. I have sanitized the tank, and replaced the faucet with a new one, which now works properly. The problem is that the pump appears to be siezed up, and I need to replace it. It looks like Par has been swallowed up by Jabsco, and they no longer make the exact pump I have. It looks like the Jabsco 42510 ( http://www.marineengine.com/products/accessory.php?in=2214897 ) is a very similar replacement (screws into the tank - hopefully the thread is the same). It is also a centrifugal pump. The body is round, not square like the old pump, so hopefully it will fit properly. The question is, the faucet has a manual pump feature if the battery is dead or you just don't want to use the electric pump that I would like to be able to use. The only outlet off of the tank is through the pump. With a centrifugal pump, I BELIEVE I will be able to continue hand pumping water through the pump without the pump on, as it currently will do. Am I correct on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
