Just grabbed the Jabsco in the box at West Marine. Manual pump type. I recalled some on the list saying (naybe you) that the pump rebuild was a pain and though the PO included that kit we decided to get a new pump unit. That unit didn't fit the head so we got the whole shebang.
I didn't know how thick the wood was so I used 2" lags. One inch makes more sense since the wood is 3/4. But there's plenty of space and I didn't punch a hole in anything that I can tell.
