Both faucets leak in my H26 and Hunter says they cannot get replacement parts, only completely new faucets. It appears this will be a never ending problem considering how poorly the faucets are made. There are other brands of manual faucets, but I don't know if they are better quality. I'm not ready to install an electric water pump now. I would like recommendations for after factory manual faucets. Fynspray a good one? Rocker-action hand pumps versus vertical-action pumps? Any input is appreciated.

Practical Sailor did a review of them last year. You can look it up on their website (for a charge). However, Fynspray and Whale both have rocker pumps. The Whale is about 20 dollars more at 70. Both have service kits should they leak again. I have used two Fynspray brass vertical action pumps and found them to be pretty good. They are 65-ish dollars. It would be hard to go wrong with any of them. I had a mid-1970's O'Day that had a Fynspray rocker knock-off that I also could not get parts for. I replaced it with a 'real' Fynspray. Good luck. Rick D. BTW, Jabsco sells an electric pump and faucet combo for 46 dollars just in case you want to reconsider electric.
