[C320-list] Pressure water pump noise

[Warren Updike]

Art, you don't indicate where the pump is located or how old it is. On our #62, the pump is in the port setee, fwd of the water tank. The original pump had small rubber pads around the mounting screws to help dampen the noise. I could always hear it. This year I replaced it with a standard pump, same SurFlo brand, the vibration dampers are larger, and the pump is much quieter. I can hear it when in the salon; but, nowhere else.
Try a soft rubber pad under the mounting plate.

My pressure pump is real noisy. I know it is because of the location. Has anyone come up with a vibration dampener?
