Sealand 385311423 Vacuflush SW Rebuild Kit 12V
If your marine or RV toilet pump has started thumping loudly every time you flush, chances are the motor and bellows are simply worn out. The Sealand 385311423 Vacuflush SW Rebuild Kit gives S-series and T-series pumps a complete refresh with a redesigned 12-volt whisper motor mounted at the improved 90-degree angle, paired with a new bellows built specifically to work with it. The result is a noticeably quieter flush and a stronger, more consistent vacuum draw, without the guesswork of mixing old and new parts.
This kit is built as a true drop-in upgrade rather than a patch job. Because the newer motor isn't compatible with older-style bellows, Sealand packages everything needed together: the motor, bellows, eccentric, o-rings, bellows clamps, and bellows bolt. That means owners of aging S and T pumps aren't stuck sourcing individual parts or worrying about mismatched components causing leaks or premature failure down the road.
For boat owners and RV owners alike, this rebuild kit is often the more economical choice compared to replacing an entire pump assembly. It restores reliable operation to a pump that's otherwise in good working condition, extending its service life while cutting down on one of the most common complaints in marine sanitation systems: noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this kit work on a pump held together with a large clamp instead of bolts?
A: No. This kit is designed for the newer 8-bolt pump style. Older clamp-style pumps require a different o-ring configuration, so check your pump design before ordering.
Q: Can this kit be installed without replacing the bellows?
A: No. The new motor uses a different eccentric and stroke length, so it is not compatible with older bellows. All kit components must be installed together for proper operation.
Q: Does this kit fit both 12V and 24V systems?
A: This specific kit, part number 385311423, is the 12V version. A separate 24V version exists under a different part number, so confirm your system voltage before purchasing.
Q: How much quieter is the whisper motor compared to the original motor?
A: The redesigned motor and matched bellows are built to significantly reduce the thumping noise associated with older-style pumps, offering a noticeably quieter flush cycle.
Q: Is this kit only for boats, or can it be used in RVs too?
A: It works in both applications. Any S-series or T-series Sealand/Dometic pump used in a boat or RV sanitation system that matches the compatible part numbers can use this kit.
