I replaced my water pump in 2005. It made a tremendous difference from the previous model. I would suggest you get the larger of the two VSD's available. The larger one pumps over 4 GPM, the smaller one around 3GPM.

Len, the max size you should go is 15 X 10 in a Gori 3 blade. Bigger will
put to much stress on engine. It should be the same as your stock prop. They
tried to put me in a bigger one and it didn't work. Allen Kalen

Since we (and the rest of our Marina) have been cursing our loud water pump for a while now, we finally decided to just replace it. From a thread in the forum archives I found that a Variable Speed is recommended. Our local West Marine has one from Jabsco, all the Shurflo's they have are fixed speed. Does it make a big difference in noise? Also, to save an extra trip up to the boat, does anyone know what kind of clearance we have for such pump (I had no idea there were so many variations)? Anything else we should keep in mind? Our baby is a 1995, hull 224.
Thanks for any insights!

PS: we just took Basic Cruising on a brand-new Hunter 31. That boat had a lot of awkward quircks, like winches in impossible to reach locations, super-swepped-back spreaders to make up for the fact that there was no back-stay and the interior just seemed cramped. Love our 320!

That's the one they had at our WM. It's the only variable speed they have. Did it mount easily in place of the old pump or did you have to make certain adaptations to make it fit?

I put it on a wonder board backing using the pump as the foot print...I
have a guy who does it for me but I was there when he installed it and we
discussed beforehand what needed to be done.

Allen,
Thanks---will research thoroughly---don't know why Gori and distrib recommend 16-1/2 x 12 when stock 3-blade is smaller. Won't make decision to switch until and unless the correct size is determined.

Len, the max size you should go is 15 X 10 in a Gori 3 blade. Bigger will
put to much stress on engine. It should be the same as your stock prop. They
tried to put me in a bigger one and it didn't work. Allen Kalen

I also have the original 4D Batteries on my 2000 boat, but the OEM charger
was replaced by the previous owner. I understand the batteries were left on
the boat over winter (every year) only being fully charged prior to storage.
All that was done was all the wires were disconnected from the battery
terminal posts as I have done this season. And the boat is on its cradle
subject to the severe winters of the Great White North on the north side of
Lake Ontario.
One reason the batteries are still good is probably because the boat is
nearly always plugged into shore-power when docked in the summer (five
