So my port drain pump died. What a PITA to replace, you have to take the tank out to get to it. Anyway, it's just a pretty standard Rule 1100 pump, but I can't find it local anywhere. Anybody replaced one before or have any suggestions on where to get a replacement cheap and fast?

I think I got a replacement a local west marine. And yeah....taking those tanks our is a huge pain. I think the hardest thing is getting the hoses off. -

He's got em, not sure how fast though.
You could take the tank level sender out and drain it through that hole with a suitable pump. Not an easy task by any means. If it's out of the water, remove the drain hose to the hull and stick it into the bilge and let it go out through the drain. Might get a little wet in the hull though.
Another reason to rip out the tanks and replace with fat sacks. I keep an extra rule pump on board too.Comment

Any idea why they use a dual port and plug one hole? Sounds like you could just as easily just use a single port...
