I am trying to remove the Whale pump at the galley sink. After a long hard fight, I was able to remove the securing nut. Now the question is what is holding it to the counter top. Is it screws or is it an adhesive. Does the top of the pump separate from the bottom or is it all one piece.

Thanks for any help.

There are two screws on the top (clearly visible on mine :)) that hold it in. The barrel of the pump (from underneath)will also unscrew from the body by turning it counterclockwise.

My pump has no screws on the top. Is yours the one that is shown at the following site? http://www.whale.ltd.uk/marine/product_list/1/39/

Is the pump you were talking about the one in the galley or the one in the head. The one in my head sounds like the one you were describing.

Steve,

I recall now that Catalina made a change on the galley pump. Earlier models used the same one in both places...

Have you found the magic set screw yet

I have to go back and try to figure out whether it is an adhesive or screws that are securing the pump. Hopefully, I can get to it soon.

I was finally able to get the pump out. It was only held in place by the nut under the counter and an extremely tight fit in the 2" hole. Now I have to extend the hose by about a foot so it will reach the other side of the sink. Does anyone know what you call the hose they use, where you could buy it and its inside diameter?

How were you able to remove the nut? I've tried everything in my tool chest so far, but haven't enough clearance!

Some *super* deep socket, perhaps? 8D

I went to Home Depot and for about $18 I bought a ripoff of a vice grip pliers. It has a large center grip that fits fully around the nut. It took time but it did come off.
