manual bilge pump rebuild 40" 1985 38.5 First

[Albert]

I need some help in finding the type of manual bilge pump that was installed on my 40 1985 First. I have the pump but there is no manufacturers name on it. I am hoping to rebuild the pump and will need a rebuild kit.

Have you tried the Beneteau parts website? Also a picture would help us identify it.

For a 1985 Beneteau sail boat (made in France) I would guess that the manual bilge pump might have been from:

HENDERSON Model "MK5" bilge pump – now WHALE (Northern Ireland headquarters)

or

PLASTIMO bilge pump (French headquarters)

Both have rebuild pump kits available - once you can identify the brand and model installed in your boat. Pics will help to identify the manufacturer & model.
