Sam,

 

Perhaps you only need a new joker valve.  They’re pretty reasonable, compared 
to the price of a new head.

Subject: Stus-List Considering Head Replacement on 35 mk III

 

Hi all,

 

My boat came with an old-looking Wilcox Crittenden Headmate head that is 
currently back-filling after I pump it dry.  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?

 

Thanks,

Sam
