I might just do that. Thanks....

[tifosi12]

Yes.

English is my second language so I often struggle finding the right word for stuff like that. Which makes searching for it on amazon...

[tifosi12]

Thanks for the link. Finding the tubing seems easy on Amazon. But I'm having a hard time finding the connectors and the tie downs or whatever one uses...

[tifosi12]

One piece THROUGH the pump? So you opened a brand new pump?

Scary....

[tifosi12]

Wine making?

Don't distract me now....

[tifosi12]

Now I'm getting it, thanks. So I was on track but then chickened out....

[tifosi12]

I can do that. I guess my bigger question is whether I even got that alignment right on my picture? It would mean the pump goes from a horizontal position...

[tifosi12]

Yes and in 40 years of using it I have never become good at it. My soldering sucks but I'm using the melting connectors Rob once brought up. They do help...

[tifosi12]

I get that although cable lengths are somewhat determining where stuff goes.

I'm reluctant to make too many changes as it affects the weight...

[tifosi12]

I managed to disassemble the boat, remove the old pump and got the new one ready. But I'm struggling following your directions on how to install the new...

Very nice. I built that kit once in honor of my father in law who served on it. This size is a nice represantation in any collection.

Well, for starters the 3D print warped. Hasn't done that in many months. I wonder whether it's the new PLA? Will try again.

Your instructions...

[tifosi12]

Ordered and currently printing your STLs. Thanks!

BTW: We have the same printer and use the same PLA....

[tifosi12]

Awesome, thanks. Also greatly appreciate the STLs. That'l work just nicely. Much appreciated....

[tifosi12]

Upon further inspection I'm pretty sure now that my pump is not working, zero movement of the bag. So I'll have to disassemble the boat. Daunting. ...

[tifosi12]

Actually I came across your rebuild thread before I started this one and had already downloaded your PDF. If you could share your source for the new pump,...

[tifosi12]

Thanks everybody for the great hints. I'll study them all.

[tifosi12]

In case one of your clients needs another one: Italian Ebay has one for sale. Has been on there for over a year, probably because nobody here ever goes...

[tifosi12]

No wonder since it seems you, Sir Sinksalot and Bob have cornered the market and bought all the boats left out there. :p...

[tifosi12]

I hear the pump in both directions. So I guess time for a new pump....
