Hi all,
I didn't see any threads addressing this. I have a '75 Hat 58 LRC with 2 Galley Maid freshwater pumps, one as primary, the other as a backup. One failed, so I took it in. The shop says it's ancient, and they haven't seen anything like that since the 70's. A new pump is $695. A rebuilt one is $495.
My boat is 58' long, and the freshwater pumps are under the V-berth. Is there any reason I can't use one of the many (apparently) more modern pumps like a Jabsco or FloJet pump for this?
What do you guys with 50' and larger boats use for your freshwater pumps?
Recommendations and advice much appreciated.
