I called "Depco" pumps in Clearwater and talked with George this morning to find out they can't any longer get this pump.
He asked if it was for a Holman-Moody setup, and suggested if I can find one, buy it!
Mine is okay (I think), but having a spare would be nice.
About 12 years ago when I restored the boat, I bought a service kit for this pump. The kit included an impeller, gasket and ceramic seal. I managed to crack the seal. So, living somewhat close to the Jabsco facility here in So. Cal, I had them rebuild it for me for a very reasonable charge. They no longer provide that service. I found another service kit from ebay just to have.
I have found (online) other new pumps that appear to be the same basic pump with different hardware, so they should work. But, they cost in the neighborhood of $500-. That seems like a lot!
If anybody knows of a good one or where to find a new one at a more reasonable cost, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Dave
