Guillaume,
My AMFA Marina electric sump pump stopped working just this past weekend. I removed it from the engine room and took it apart and found that one of the two (2) diaphragms inside has failed completely. The pump is quite simple and easy to service. I am going to make temporary replacements diaphragms out of a sheet of Neoprene in the short term. If they work well, I will just keep the temporary diaphragms in service. I did find that TF Marine in Italy still makes and sells this pump as a Model TM 50. They also still make and sell spare parts for the pump. I have attached the exploded assembly drawing for the pump to this message and below is the contact information for TF Marine: TF MARINE SRL Lucca – Italy Tel & Fax: +39 0584 338238 website: www.tfmarine.it email: info@... I hope you, your family, and Carpathia III are well! -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA |

In Greece I have received the service kit some weeks ago from:
Alex Karademiris They have the Whale service kit AK8050 in stock.
Retail price: 38.63€+VAT
ACS courier transport 4.5€+VAT to Kalamata and received the next day.

Many thanks for your help. I have just ordered a new pump and will service my current one to keep as spare/mobile unit ready for emergencies.

Hi Guillaume, It is a Whale Henderson Mark V manual bilge pump. As you are in Greece, the best place to buy a repair kit is SVB in Germany. They have an English language site and inexpensive shipping. The repair kit is listed here: https://www.svb24.com/en/whale-repair-kit-for-henderson-mk-5-pump.html Sabbatical III, SM419, Rhode Island, USA

Recently, as we have been using the manual bilge pump quite a lot due to a problem on the AMFA electric pump, I noticed a leak on that pump, and getting worse. Grey water coming from the ceiling of the engine room...! Has anyone had that pump leak? What is the brand/model (Henderson, Whale,?) and any idea where to find spare parts or replacement? |

Check the hose connection, and then check the hose for leaks. I, and a couple of others on the forum have had to change the hose which hardens and cracks over the years. I dismantled my pump only to find the diaphragm and non return valves were fine. But it didn’t do any harm to clean the whole thing up!

Hi Guillaume, On our SM (233), the manual bilge pump is a Henderson Mk 5 (now Whale). The service kit part number for ours is AK8050. The most likely failure is a hole in the diaphragm. Ryan and Kelly
