[C320-list] Freshwater pump replacement

[Stephen Kaplan]

Thanks for the suggestion for a quieter model fresh water pump.  Saline still has it's original 2004 pump but I have been thinking of replacing it simply to reduce the noise now that we sleep weekends aboard.

Saline #980
Marina del Rey

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
