Marco UP6/E-12 volt water pump-good quality?

I have a shur-flo and use water exclusively from the onboard supply. It was on the boat when we bought it in 2010, I bought a new spare in 2012 in case of failure and still have it in the spares. It's quite except when it starts to suck air when the tank is empty. The usual failure is the check valve or pressure switch, mine have never failed I got this from reading reviews. Mine is 50 psi at 4.5 gpm if I remember correctly. I think my spare which I bought on eBay was $130.00, Hopcar a forum member should be able to add some information on the quality of these pumps and give you a decent price on one. I think having a spare guarantees the original will keep pumping away.
