[C320-list] Freshwater pump replacement

[Chris Burti]

We replaced the noisy OEM model with a 4.5 gpm Shureflo VSD instead of
adding an accumulator tank. We have gotten excellent and quiet service from
this pump since 2004 or 2005. They no longer make this pump and I believe
that you may want Model Number 4158-153-E75
