This spring, I was able to replace the diaphragm and valve seals on the Jabsco
pump from my 1988 30-2 to stop a leak. It sounds very similar to yours. That
model number does not look current, but here is a good selection of rebuild
kits:

Where is the leak? Service kits may be available for this pump. Jabsco
renumbered their pumps some time ago. This pump may use the same service kit
as a current pump.
Barring that, both the Par and Shurflo pumps have good reliability. My
experience seems to indicate the Shurflo pumps are slightly quieter. Both have
available service kits.
I would look at the Shurflo 3.0 GPM Aqua King or the Par Max 2.9 GPM.

Good am all,
We had another great weekend on the boat and I finally confirmed that my fresh
water pump is the culprit on the leak I've had for a couple months. Easier to
fix than finding a leak in the hoses or at a joint somewhere..
The Pump is the original Jabsco with diaphragm and plunger looking thing model
500736 I believe.
I only have 3 outlets on board so the extra capacity models can be excluded.
Also, I don't really want to up the pressure as I don't want to have to re-wire
for more amps and I don't want to overstress the aging plastic connections
(I've replaced a few already... Not fun)
So that leaves us with the 3.0 GPM range automatic pumps 6 amps or so draw, 40
or so PSI I'd like something quieter and less pulsating would be nice. I have
seen an accumulator in the aft sail locker but I don't think it's connected, it
was probably working in tandem with the missing water heater..(Yet another
project there) .
Even narrowed down, there is still a bewildering array of brands, technologies,
and prices..
Any suggestions and prior experience wisdom is much appreciated..
