Hi Les,
 
I also have a Whale located in the same spot. According to previous
owner it is original. Check if the mounting points are the same as the
Whale. Maybe it was replaced for the one you have right now.

	Our Whale bilge pump is located in the same position on Que
Linda.

	Your local stainless shop might be able to fabricate one for
you.  You
	can also check in your local hardware store in their bulk
screws... Look
	for some bins with blue on silver background labels.  That
generally
	marks the stainless stuff.  However stainless wouldn't make good
spring
	pins I think.  I suspect that the rolled pin was probably high
carbon
	steel, which would be pretty safe with stainless. But I could be
wrong.
	
	And since I don't know where you are located, I can only
speculate what
	stores might be near you, but a good surplus chandlery might
have the
	bit for you.
	
	       Finally there is West Marine, or my favorite for the good
stuff,
	DownWind Marine, and the ultimate fixit shop, San Diego Marine
	exchange.
	
	       You could also check out the local boatyards.
	
	Now my question:
	
	       I have a bilge pump which is a Kempax, about 6 1/2"
diaphragm,
	bulkhead
	mounted bilge pump.  I don't know if this was Catalina Standard
or not,
	but I cannot find the parts or the replacement for this guy.  I
would
	like to keep the same pump because of the issues of patching the
	mounting point on the forward edge of the cockpit stern seat.
It is on
	the starboard side.  But it does need work and like yesterday.
So, what
	do you all have or recommend, and is yours mounted in the same
location?
	
	Regards,
	Les H
