Re: Onan Water Pump

Mark, You're absolutely right, the Sherwood pump is the G702. It looks exactly like the one on the engine and some on-line sellers list the Onan part number with the Sherwood part

Re: Onan Water Pump

Bill R., Thank for your post. I actually had a rebuild kit on board (memory is an occasional thing for me these days it seems) and though easi-peasi, just rebuild the pump! But it will take a shop

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Onan Water Pump

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] engine cruising RPM

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] engine cruising RPM

Re: engine cruising RPM

Hi Ryan, I'll be interested in the replies! We've been told that the best fuel economy is at 1800 to 2000 rpm's. In smooth water we will get 5.5 kts at 1800 rpm. Duane Wanderer, SM#477
