Kempax Manual Bilge Pump Refurb

[Neil Raynor]

Dear Nonsuchers,

As part of my clean-up this winter I removed the Kempax Manual Bilge Pump from its location on the wall of the Port cockpit locker.  Attached is a photo of the pump.

Before re-installing it seemed like a good opportunity to replace all the rubber bits and I assume there would be a "kit" available for that purpose.

Alas, I've tried to find the manufacturer/dealers and have searched on the internet but have not been able to locate.  

So my question is, has anyone else refurbished one of these manual pumps - is it original? - and is there anyone out there who supplies refurb kits?  

Appreciate your help as always.

Sorry, Neil, but I’ve never heard of them.

Did a quick web search and it looks like Kempax was a brand used on Swedish boats like Halberg Rassy but went out of business in the late '80s. 

Someone posting in 2003 seemed to think that, " Kempax of Sweden (fitted to many Swedish boats) have been bought by Johnson pumps (www.johnson-pumps.com) and its now called the Johnson Viking pump."

I'm only repeating what the Internet says, and have no direct knowledge of my own.

Hi Neil -

Continuing Bob's research, check this out. It may be "the one" or a replacement option.
