[C320-list] Jabsco Head replacement

[Scott Thompson]

Thanks.  Sounds like an easy replacement.  For anyone else contemplating 
this I forgot to mention that Jabsco is running a rebate program that 
takes another $20 off the head price this month.  So you can get a brand 
new drop in replacement for $100 net.  That's $120 at the WM sale price 
less the $20 rebate.  I'm not sure how long the WM promotion will run.
