Walbro is the Hatteras OEM pump for priming. Available from Depco at http://www.depcopump.com/.

Re: fuel priming pump
If you have 32v, then forget the Walbro. They are no longer made. Oberdorpher makes a 32vdc version and Depco sells it. The price is about $300. I have been looking for one myself the last few days.
If anyone has a source for some 32vdc Walbro's, I am willing to purchase 3 or 4. ThanksPat Bustle

Re: fuel priming pump
If it's really just for priming and refilling RACORs when you change elements, you can get a manual pump. My boat has a little 3 inch hand pump in the fuel line before the RACOR on both sides. It just takes a minute of pumping to refill. Then put the top on and pump a little more and it reprimes. Simple and no electrical wires or motors to mess with.

A 120v pump is another option. We usually use these pumps when we are at the dock anyway, changing filters, etc.

Re: fuel priming pump
This may sound like a stupid answer but how about a 2 gallon can od diesel fuel in the engine room. Works for me on those time my filters clog offshore.
