[C320-list] fresh water pump

[MARTIN SUSAN RAPHAEL]

Darrell -- I installed the SureFlo extreme, and it is quieter and smoother than the original pump.  It is not silent, though.  I mounted it in the same place I found the original pump, which is on the bulkhead next to the water heater.  I think that spot magnifies the vibration a bit.  If I had room, I would have preferred mounting it on a more solid surface to minimize vibration and resulting noise.
