Fresh water pump
Howdy folks, last night my fresh water pump died on me. I have it narrowed down to a intermittently faulty pressure switch. New pump at west marine is$220. Anyone know if the switch is available separately? I took it apart and it is better, but still not steady. Kind of need new one fast... Thoughts? Just bite the bullet and buy the whole pump?

Re: Fresh water pump
Depending on the model and your luck a replacement switch may be available. I know that Jabsco does sell replacement switches.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Re: Fresh water pump
Thanks Doug, looks like I need a whole unit. I can't believe I broke my Johnson, I'm usually so careful....

Re: Fresh water pump
Get the variable flow pump. I have the sensor max vsd 5.0, its quiet and smooth.

Re: Fresh water pump
you might visit your local RV dealer, they have jabasco pumps for less than half what you'll pay at West Marine , sometimes with the same part number

Re: Fresh water pump
Well, all finished. Went out to Larry's lighthouse and got a new pump. Wish I thought of the RV place, would have saved a few bucks. Thanks everyone. I think it's the only thing on the boat that's easy to get to and replace!
