The manual bilge pump on my 1984 C&C 32 has failed .....have yet to
crawl into the locker to see if I can see its name and model #....it
appears to a somewhat large black apparatus. Assuming the diaphragm has
failed.
Assuming if taken apart, the diaphragm might be replaced? However,
given the age of the old bilge pump. would it even be possible? And
where would i get a replacement diaphragm?
Would it be simply better to get a replacement, however, removing the
existing pump from the approximately 4"to 5" hole in the side wall of
the cockpit and getting one to fit exactly the same size might be a
challenge.
Any experience or advice greatly appreciated!

PS: I also have an electric bilge pump but would feel safer if the
manual one worked.
