Need to replace my water pump
My water pump has started leaking. It was made in 08/1990, so it's probably time. The original pump was a Shurflow 2088-403-144. This is a 3-chamber pump that shuts off at 45 PSI and does 2.8 GPM...

Looked at the pic. That's awful! We have two of those pumps, one in the coach and another for the transom swim shower on our boat. Both are much more accessible. I can see why you'd want a new pump. The contortions you'll go to to access the thing is enough to hope a new one'll keep you from ever doing it again.
You motivated me. The boat pump's been off for well over a year, not working. Last night I took it apart. Pump off one end, then both end bells. Found the brushes and commutator dirty. Maybe I used too much grease on the brush end the last time I worked on it.
Anyhow, I figured out a couple tricks to get the armature back in with the brushes in contact, reassembled and it runs, also pumps.
But... I think the micro-switch that's the "Switch" in "Pressure Switch" is balky.
