GALLEY PUMP REBUILD

Since the galley pump had to be removed for the "under galley clean up project", I decided to re-build the galley pump.  The pump is a Whale Gusher Galley Mk 3.  The re-build kit is readily available for the pump.  I purchased mine from Defender.com.

The pump is held together with a series of screws on either side of the pump.  The screws were removed and the pump disassembled.  From there, all of the rubber components to be replaced were removed.  Here is a picture of the disassembled pump.


Then the pump was put back together with all of the new parts supplied in the re-build kit.  First, the pump arm assembly was put together.


Then one pump cover was re-installed.


Then the intake and outtake valves re-assembled.


The intake and outtake valves were installed to the pump housing and the pump spring installed.


And the other side of the pump housing screwed into place.
