The old Groco HF is a great head. If your bowl and pump are in good shape, you
could rebuild it. A new head will probably not fit the existing mount holes.
You can purchase the parts you need from West Marine without buying the
complete rebuild kit.

You can easily remove the pump from the head to work on it.
The upper pump valve assembly is the usual problem. WM pn 141221 $19.99
The bottom pump valve (gasket) will cause the bowl to not pump out. Also,
bleach will distroy them. WM pn 141213 $14.99
Joker valve WM pn 141171 $11.49
I have the IPB on the head if you need any more parts identified.

I need to replace my head also. Let me know how yours turns out. I've been
looking at the Raritan PHEII with the household size bowl. I havn't measured
and was wondering if it would fit and does anyone have one installed? I hate
the small bowls as it doesn't leave much room for anything. There is a GROCO HF
on there now, if the larger one won't fit I'll just replace with the same
model. Thanks Brandon 1985 Catalina 27 Charleston SC
