Hi all,

During a routine flushing of the bilge today, I noticed my bilge pump is
leaking badly. I currently have a Jabsco 36600-0000 pump which I
priced at West Marine today at about $270 with my Port Supply discount.
This pump seems to have lots of moving parts, little places where gunk
from the bilge can plug it up and a rubber belt.

My question to everyone is:

Should I fork over another $270 and buy another plus a repair kit to
re-build my old one so that I have a spare? I plan to go cruising in
2008.

Or ...... buy a $60 Rule plastic jobbie and, well, actually I can buy
several and still be under my $270 and just replace them when they go
bad?

Or .... Is there something better someone can recommend.

I have just purchased a new electronic sensor / switch (Water Witch)
which I am planning to install at the same time I replace the pump.

Any help would be most appreciated!
