It should be a Whale Gusher underdeck model.

However, I strongly suggest you remove, disassemble and inspect the pump
before buying parts.  It's been my experience that the sealing surfaces for
the flapper valves are usually corroded rendering the body of the pump
unserviceable.  You may have to buy a new pump.

If you end up buying a new pump, disassemble it and coat the sealing
surfaces and everything metal with TefGel before reassembly and
installation.

Don't balk at the price of a new pump.  It's cheaper than raising your boat
off the bottom.
