Need some assistance IDing our aft bilge pump. It's a diaphragm type but no manufacturer label can be found. There is a number on the side that looks like it's a Jabsco (16148-0000) but I haven't been able to find anything with that number. The motor works fine, but it just recently quit working properly - The remote float switch turns it on just fine but it doesn't seem to be priming and pumping any more. I'm guessing (without having dismantled it yet) that it probably needs a new diaphragm but I don't know what to order without a proper model number.

Any help?

OK, so it looks like it's most likely a Jabsco 37202 pump (thanks to user PippaB on the sister forum).

Now to find a service kit or and decent priced replacement.

Suggestions here?
 
Diaphragm doesn't looked cracked, probably ok. Could be a bad valve - stuck, damaged, or debris holding the valve open.

Take the top off and look.
