[Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Onan Water Pump
Clean the inside pump walls well when changing the impeller...use sand paper.and make sure the inside wall is smooth. Also, change the impeller every 200-225 hours...you will not lose a blade unless you use Globe impellers if you follow the above. It is much easier to remove the pump than to try to change the impeller with the pump attached. Do not let a single drop of saltwater fall on anything. Use towels and a wet vacuum. This works, I promise.

Ok, So Onan’s spec C (and later) uses the 132-0459 pump (G702 in Sherwood’s taxonomy). It can be found for less than 300$. Based on the diagrams, the impeller for the newer pump is much bigger. I wonder if it bears the same risk of losing blades that could make their way to the heat exchanger. In other words, wouldn’t instaling a handy strainer like Perigee’s and CreamPuff’s be superfluous with such a pump? (It’s one of our projects) Fair winds Thomas & Soraya GARULFO A54-122 Curaçao
