I've replaced the one on Touche' twice in 19 years. Both times the sealing surface for the flapper style check valves were corroded. The last time I disassembled the new pump prior to installation, coated all the alloy surfaces with TefGel, reassembled and then installed it.

Would one try to find a new diaphragm to replace it or install a better system in the lazarette, such as a whale or something similar? Do they even make replacement diaphragms for a 1978 26’?
