Peggie,
highly informative, as always!
My question: does the Lavac pump similar maintenance? I don't recall
reading anything about it in the manual.
The Lavac pump is actually a Henderson manual diaphragm bilge pump...and
should be maintained (lubricated/rebuilt) the same way as any other
manual diaphragm bilge or holding tank overboard discharge pumps.
They do need periodic lubrication...and synthetic Teflon or similar
non-petroleum water soluble grease is recommended. And they also need to
be rebuilt occasionally...more often if they're never lubed. Lack of
lubrication isn't all that good for y-valves and seacocks either.
