The Cape Dory Board

I'm interested in replacing the two original deck hatches of my 1983 Cape Dory 30 cutter. Can anyone suggest appropriate replacement hatches? The original Bomar hatches, listed in the owners manual as Bomar 139-medium and Bomar 139-small, are no longer available in the Bomar catalogue. Thanks for yo...

Just to conclude this topic. Got the replacement parts for the Whale Gusher 8 but they didn't fit; so though the Cape Dory 30 manual says the boat was equipped with a Whale Gusher 8, it was apparently not. I'm now biting the bullet and replacing the old pump with Whale Urchin, which gets high marks ...

Good to know. I'd thought rebuilding the old pump would be pretty intimidating. Thanks. Fred

Thanks, I may have to try that approach if the pump is still repairable.

Anyone have any suggestions about replacing the manual bilge pump located on the rear bulkhead in the cockpit of my Cape Dory 30? The original was a Whale Gusher 8, which is no longer available. Is a similar pump available that might fit in the same screw holes. Thanks.
