Rick, if the pump is a MK V, Downwind Marine in San Diego has kits & parts.
I got a kit from them a year or two ago, no problemo.

I discovered on those pumps if you don't push the handle in all the way, and
make sure it is always all the way in while you pump, you can crack/ruin the
socket it goes into. A call to Downwind and I got the parts I needed to fix
it. My handle now has a big reminder note on it.

Subject: [baba] Henderson manual pump

I know this issue came around on Baba-L, but I can't recall the answer.
The manual bilge pump's handle socket has begun to fall apart (cracked metal
[frown]) and it's time to repair or replace the pump. IIRC, getting parts
for Henderson pumps is next to impossible. What options are there for
replacing the pump, with the least amount of surgery to the cockpit? Our
pump is located in the port quarter, near the port combing locker, and
there's a big hole for the socket and handle as well as the mounting bolts.
I'm assuming it's too much to ask for another pump with the same mounting
pattern.
