We are starting to have issues with our third water pump in a bit over a year. It makes strange sounds and then it throws the switch breaker. Our boat came with a Shurflo, then we replaced it with another Shurflo, which started acting up so we replaced it with a Jabsco, all around 60 psi. It seems like 6 months is all we can get from either brand??? I'm hoping for some recommendations for a reliable brand. Also, the system on our Tayana 48 built in 2017 doesn't have an accumulator. Any words of advice there? Our old boat built in 1983 used a Shurflo pump which we may have replaced only once in the 20 years we owned it, and it did have an accumulator. Maybe they truly don't make 'em like they used to...
