Take it out and take it apart. Mine, like Dave’s was corroded so badly that replacement was the only answer.

My problem was not the diaphragm but the metal itself. I can’t remember for sure but I think the housing is aluminum but in any case the salt water erodes the metal and the seals no longer seal. Only way to tell is to disassemble the pump. Good luck. Dave.

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’?
