Our macerator pump isn't running and I'm facing the prospect of either repairing the pump or replacing it. Has anyone had to deal with either of these tasks? Any advice will be appreciated.

My boat uses the Jabsco pump

that's similar to the one on sale at this site, for $100 I'd rather replace than rebuild a macerator pump, actually it's better than that 'cause a rebuild kit is probably at least $40. Rinse and pump dry the tank many times prior to starting this task. If the pump is not working after a long lay-up or period of non-use, look for a screwdriver slot on the end of the shaft to turn the pump, it may just be "stuck".
