I feel ya TeamBeach. 6’2” 220 pounds really isn't designed for engine bays. I somehow manage. Socket extension worked well for me removing the pump. +1 for surgical gloves as mentioned above. It wasn’t very messy. A little bit but not much. Stinky more than anything. Be sure to check for vacuum leaks once reassembled. Good luck with another day in a boat owners life@Phasma thanks for the info. Marina had the duckbills but not the bellows. Going to order online and wait until I have all the parts so I only do it once. Looks like the hardest part will be getting the mounting bolt off that is behind the pump to the stern. Being 6’ 4” makes everything in the engine compartment a challenge for me. Just exercised the engine and generator seacocks and had to lay on my stomach in the bilge between the engines. Not fun...
