[C320-list] water pump replacement

Martin,
I'm of the same mind however someone on our list was going to add an after market controller that eliminated the pile driver effect from our older pumps.m sounded like a great solution if it works.  Any comments?

Subject: [C320-list] water pump replacement

Hello -- I have grown annoyed with the noise made by the stock water pump in 
my 1994 boat and am considering a replacement.  I was looking at models from 
Jabsco and West Marine but wonder if any of you have replaced the pump with 
something that has quieter operation.  Is the replacement fairly straight 
forward or are there some tricks I should anticipate?  What capacity 
(gallons per minute?) should I be aiming for?
Thanks,
Martin Raphael
