Hi Cherie,
I have no idea what the best pump is, but the jabsco's rebuildable, a
big plus ! I was in Maryland, at Bacon's marine parts last week and
they had half a dozen jabsco pumps on the shelf, different models and
voltages (12 & 24). I think they were going for about 75 to 125 each,
some looked new. I found that Granger supply corp carries Fasco
replacement motors way cheeper than our marine suppliers.
