[C320-list] water pump replacement

[charles walsh]

My boat is a 1996 #317 and I suffered with the stock water pump for years until installing the Jabsco VSD pump.  The original location was under the sink so I also relocated the new pump under the aft bunk.  I ran new Whale water lines under the deck and tied in under the sink.  I can't even hear the pump running.
