T&T: Jabsco belt driven pump

[Frank Burrows]

Butch:  (

The best thing you can do is dump the belt driven Jabsco water pump. The 
marina has a dumpster and this is where this pump should go. Get a Shurflow 
pump and you will never go back. You will not need lots of spare parts and 
you can buy a second one if you feel you have to have a spare. I never went 
a season without repairing my belt driven water pump. The Shurflow went 12 
years before I had to fix a leak.
