I want to repalce my mechanical sea water pump mounted fuel pump because it is leaking into the fluid.
I have read many threads and it seems that some change pumps for this and others dont. Some say it happens with every pump and just change the fluid often.
I still dont know what to do but are there aftermarket pumps that will work to replace? Do they all leak into the fluid?

The diaphragm is attached to the actuator. I have not found any way to get them apart in a manner that can then be reassembled reliably. I have a new pump with less than 50 hours on it and I get fuel in the oil after each season. It's not much, just enough to smell it when you change the oil. I use Amsoil 75w90 extreme gear lube that seems to take the dilution well. Cam and pump arm show no signs of wear.
