Just had to remove my salt water washdown pump today after 2 seasons. So what pump does everyone recommend?

Hey Rich

I have a Blaster Pro by Shurflo. Works great with a Hydra Coil hose [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

45 P.S.I. Self contained automatic shut-off switch.
12V 3.4 GPM

You might want to check with "Yacht Jim" at BOE for a deal...

I have the (2) of same pumps Chuck posted. One is 12 years old and the other is 3. Seem to work OK not too great on pressure but they work.

I have also had good luck with those surflow blasters. I have had several on my boats without any problems. I also had them on my vet trucks and they get used all day every day without having to replace on that I can remember.

I'll even it out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Have always had good luck with Jabsco ... Par max 4 has good pressure also.

I think Jabsco has just come out with a bigger pump for washdown with higher flow and pressure.

Chuck ; I had the same pump and it only lasted a year. Guess I got a lemon. I'll troubleshoot it this weekend and try to determine if I should rebuild or replace. I have the feeling they are not making them like they use to. Rich
