In rebuilding the Sonic (The Too Old Sonic),
one engine (Mk IV) had a plastic housing sea pump on it, the other engine (a Gen V) had a bronze bodied Jabsco pump on it. I would like them to match. Anybody got a used one? Will buy one or swap pumps or something else??? I've really gone way over budget on this deal & need to save a little here & there!!
Thanks guys!

Great job on the wiring and the engine bay. I was thinking of posting before and after pictures of mine, but I'm going to wait now so folks can forget how nice a job you did.
That Jabsco pump is several hundred dollars, and sand will not hurt it as fast as the plastic pumps. You might want to put up with two different pumps until the budget recovers from your current work, and then get a second Jabsco.

formula31, I am going to take another look this weekend. I really haven't "looked" if you know what I mean at the Jabsco. Just that they were different and I am not familiar with the Jabsco. If I decide to switch, I'll let you know next week. Thanks for the offer.

Ok, its actually a much more robust version of the same pump. Even the cam plate inside is replaceable, not like the merc part where you have to buy a new body. Pretty sure it uses the same impeller too.
