[Public-List] whale pump update

[Stephen Gwyn]

Hi,

If you are happy working in the locker, there is no reason not leave the 
hoses attached. I find it much easier to remove the pump completely and 
the work outside in the sunlight. And I test the pump before 
re-installing it.

As well was replacing the valves, you will also replace the gasket 
around the plate that one of the valves is attached to. Unless the 
aluminum surfaces the gasket it attached to look pristine, I would 
recommend using a bit of form-a-gasket (or something similar) to get a 
better seal.

The screws that hold on the plate on the original pump are 1/4"-20. On 
the newer pumps and the kits they are M5 or some such. But you can 
always bodge the old larger 1/4" screw through the holes in new gasket.
