I have the same head configuation as Robert. My #3 guest head needs a new stator. Naturally #3 is the hardest one to get to. Looking for some tips/suggestions on the best way to remove the hoses so I can get the pump out. I'd imagine they are are welded on there.

Re: Galley Maid Head Pump Re-Plumination
While it is possible to unbolt cone and pull the pump, a stuck waste hose may be indicative of a larger problem. There could be a damn of hardened material building up in the nipple. Nothing easy about this; it’ll require chipping. So you might unbolt to make pulling the waste end a little easier.

Re: Galley Maid Head Pump Re-Plumination
I put one check valve in my bow head GM system, this is because it would loose prime when running the boat , GM recommends this. It was a pain to get it to work. I had to reduce the spring size to get it to open easily. It now works okay. A gate valve type might work better, although GM recommends the spring type. Good luck , with enough effort , anything can be overcome.

I use a heat gun to soften the bond between hose and nipple.

I bought a Raz GM Reman Pump so I'm going to pull the old pump out and keep it as a spare. Looking forward to a S#*tty weekend. Pun intended.
