Yea, I'm cheap.

Often the pump manufacture and model will be cast into the body of the pump. *For example, my Onan fresh water pump was an Oberdorfer P51. The problematic Onan salt water pump, is about $1000 to replace and $300 - $400 to rebuild. Finally I said screw it and replaced it with a Jabsco belt driven pump of comparable size and capped off the gear drive. There are many pump suppliers on line to buy from. *If you can get the pump name go to:

I bought both my pumps from them.

I've got the same genny 1981 model. It's a Perkins engine. The PO replaced the raw water pump with a 110V fountain pump due to accessibility issues. Works great. The genny guys really like the W7.7 unit, it's nearly bullet proof.
