Well I took it apart and there was no clog (in any of the lines, pick up
etc) and rubber looked serviceable but is stiff and probably why it's not
pulling. In lieu of the $100 replacement parts, I am likely to take the
advice and replace it with a small Rule bilge pump assuming I have the
clearance
Have you tried cleaning both the brass pick up in the shower basin as well as
the screened filter plumbed in just before the pump? Works every time for me.

This is the newer (and cheaper) model of my original pump.

Here is the replacement pump.

The original was marketed as a potable water pump and
To add to Ken's possibility of dirt, the rubber can also lose it's
flexibility and take on a set. As for spending $100 dollars on a rebuild
kit... it seems like a low percentage of the replacement cost.
My dewatering pump was a tri-plex diaphram style and it stopped pumping
because of the diaphra
Usually, if the diaphragm isn't ruptured, the problem is a little bit of
dirt or hair in the intake or outlet valves.
Definitely worth taking it apart for a looksee first.

Kevin,
I had the same problem — had one, never worked quite right, a big deal to
replace.
My cost-saving solution? I made a drain opening so that the shower drains into
the bilge. Cost: $5.00. Time: 10 minutes.
All the best,
Edd
