Hi Bill, The ONAN pump is made by Sherwood, but it's made in 2 pieces, the one I put on is also Sherwood but a one-piece casting - Sherwood sell it as a direct replacement. I see no difference in run

Alan, I am 99% sure that the Onan OEM pump is made by Sherwood. I think that you should do what you feel is right, but I know how smart you are and I know that you realize that one example without a

I would be curious to know what rpm the Onan impeller runs? I agree, Yanmar rw impellers basically die from age rather than from hours. Heat seems to often be involved with accelerated wear. I

The question is WHY does the ONAN eat impellers ? Is it something to do with the design of that pump housing? I changed mine for a Sherwood single piece machined pump housing, made no difference. My

Bill, Bronze is very easy to machine and you don't have to use a mill or anything fancy for a job like cleaning up rough areas inside your pump housing. One option is to use a drum sander just under

Derick, Please add also pictures of the lubrication oppenings.

Hi all, I was able to disassemble the mizzen gearbox after removing the mizzen and the mizzen foil. It appears that the shaft connecting the winch handle to the gearbox has frozen up in its housing.

For my two cents... I think this modification has numerous issues and would caution the attempt to re-engineer what Cummins Onan has done. I believe that you need to address these things if you

James, I was very worried about that possibility but this time I did not glue to top foam and it was clear that the water is entering in a gap that forms between the lip-seal and the shaft. Only a few

This is intriguing. It would seem the failure rate of the pump would be less likely than the impellers. What do you do with the original mechanical pump? Leave it in place without the impeller and

Peregrinus, I did the same and ordered Globe Run-Dry Impellers because of postings in the Amel Owners Group. I wrote Globe about this problem and sent the same photo I posted here. They told be to

Hi Enio, Since you directed your original question to Olivier, I did not respond. My boat is different than the original Santorin in that a former owner installed a 6kw generator and converted to 110v
