Before you go out and buy a new head or even a rebuild, put some West Marine Head Lube in it and pump it through. My Jabsco had the same problem. Head Lube fixed it.

It looks like a rebuild kit will run me $70 to $80. On the other hand, a new West Marine-brand head (link <http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--compact-manual-head--14974265> ) is only $200. I'm inclined to pay that different to avoid a messy job and start from scratch with a clean head. It seems well reviewed but does anyone have experience with that model or other reasons why I shouldn't go with it?
