Hi Ian,
in July 2018 we replaced the failing fresh water pump to a Marco UP6 25 PSI. Since then it is working without any problems and there is sufficient pressure on all tabs and outlets (dish

I know it violates your stated desire for a diaphragm pump, but I think the Marco gear pumps are the cat's meow. I think you'd be happy with a #3 or a #6.
They are simple, robust, quiet, and very

We have the aqua king 2 and love it. Good pressure with both showers going. Very reliable in that we've been full time live-aboards for 10 years and I've replaced it once.......with a spare I seemed

CorrosionX is a sailor's best friend! I could tell you dozens of similar stories. If you own an Amel and do not have one of these, you will spend a lot more money than those who do have one of

Re: Fresh Water Pump
I don't think I'd go with 55psi. I've had both 25psi and 40psi ParMax 4's on board for the past seven years.
They are not super-long lived (but then again, they get ~lots~ of hours on them) and

Re: Bilge pump activation switch
I took a piece of copper tubing just big enough to fit over the switch toggle, and crimped it with a pair of pliers. I flattened the other end and drilled a hole through it to attach the float string.
