Winter Maintenance

Water was again leaking from the Jabsco heads pump. Not a lot but enough to corrode the galvanised jubilee clips.
I decided to do an overhaul on the pump as well as fixing the crack.
This time the crack was on the inlet pipe. I think the problem here is that the hose connections are just not thick enough to withstand repeated flexing as the pump is used. Last time it was the outlet connection.
The exoxy repair from last time is still holding do I did the same repair on the inlet as well as fitting new washers and other bits from the Jabsco spares kit.
It all went back together and now functions perfectly without leaks.
