When I replaced my alloy Gusher, I disassembled it and coated all the
internals, particularly the valve sealing surfaces, with USS TefGel.
Further, I never leave salt water in the pump. I always flush the bilge
with dock water and try to leave that in the pump.

Hi Derek,
I had the exact same thing happen to me and I was given a Titan pump from a
colleague. The same problem with my Gusher - too much corrosion inside to
rebuild the pump. The Titan just wouldn't fit so I ended up buying a
replacement Gusher on eBay for a good price, Replacement was easy!
