Hi Gary

I have the same issue on the tap in the galley where it leaks on every pump but the tap in the heads is ok. I would also be interested if the tap is a serviceable item.

Regards

My tap seized up a while back. It looks like a similar model. I found a spare part pack at Nick Cox chandlers at the Yacht Haven in Lymington which included washers and O-rings. I managed to work out how to take the tap apart and then fixed it. The tap has been fine ever since.

It seemed to be a standard pack so other chandlers probably stock them. I think I saw them at Force4 in Lymington as well.

Good luck.

Thanks for your replies I found a service kit here http://www.marinechandlery.com/...v-pump-mk-56-ak0618.aspx it also includes a usefull diagram.

Before ordering a service kit I will take it apart and see if a little TLC will work wonders [:)]
