Ditto on the head lube as a first step. After that what you do may be dictated by the brand and model unit you have installed. Some are easy rebuilds, some have electric flush conversions, and some will have cracked housings where new insides won't fix and the air leak.

You may find that the difference in cost of a rebuild kit and a new head on sale is small enough that it makes sense to get a new one, depending on the head. When I faced this problem, West Marine had one on sale, so I opted for that. Good luck. Bob Musson C27 #6508 Piratizer Selby Bay, MD Lance Jones wrote: My marine head stopped pumping today. How difficult is it to rebuild a manual pump and where can I get the parts? Thanks for the help in advance. Lance Jones Catalina 27TR SN 5455 Gaelforce!

General consciences is that it would not be a big deal. This is pretty much the way I was thinking, but wanted to get other opinions on the matter. Didn't want the mast to be raised in a different locations on the boat and have a problem down the road that would have required me to again lower the mast. My boat is under-going a pretty large repair and like I mentioned before, I want to up-grade certain things while the mast is down and the boat is empty. Again, thanks to all that responded....where else can I find expertise on this type of matter. The list works!
