Made it to the boat. The pump I installed is a Jabsco 12volt 59510-0012.
If you decide to look for a higher end pump, it appears that Johnson Pumps makes a continuous duty C-10 and C-30 designed to circulate coolant.
You might find other options via Depco Pumps

or call them … they’ve been a valuable source of info and pumps in the past.
RickI won’t be back to the boat for a couple of weeks to pull a model number on my pump… but I did find an email from 2009 back when we had a 424 listserv where I mentioned I used a 12v Jabsco pump and I do recall it was suitable for hot temperatures and continuous duty and it wasn’t cheap… I found the following Jabsco pump with those criteria… there may be others…
Jabsco / Flojet 59510-0012 Mag Drive Brushless DC Centrifugal 12 volt DC hot water circulation pump for RV, bus, marine or other circulating heating systems. Can be plumbed to engine cooling system to use hot engine coolant for heating while vehicle is underway. Handles fluid temperatures up to 212degF (100degC). Does NOT contain a heating element, for circulation only.
Direct replacement for Johnson CO10P5-2 and CM10P7-1 circulation pump applications. Pump head compatible with engine anti-freeze. Includes mounting bracket. 3/4″ hose barb ports. Magnetic Drive, no shaft seal to leak. Continuously rated. 20,000 hour life on brushless motor. Non-self-priming.
Specifications:
Output: 3.3 gpm (12.5 lpm) @~1.74 PSI (0.12 bar), max 3.9 feet (1.2 m) of total head.
Connections: 3/4″ (19 mm) bore hose
Dimensions: 3.8″ (97 mm) long x 3.9″ (100 mm) wide x 2.75″ (70 mm) high
Weight: 14.8 ounces (420 grams)
Max Current: 1.2 amp at 12 volt DC; 2 amp fusePO repowered Eclipse with a Westerbeke 63…the routing of coolant to water heater was sort of a by pass and not in the primary flow so water heater was slow to get water heated. Rather than change several hoses and their routing , I placed an in line 12v continously duty pump to move coolant to the WH with a switch at the nav station. Problem solved. Pump has work flawlessly for I think 15 years or more.
Not at the boat so I can’t identify the pump at this timeHello
Short answer is that mechanic removed a ‘good’ spring and I took it to a automotive machine shop. He measured it’s size and compression….. He called a guy who provided a perfect match….
Mechanic came back and reinstalled the good spring and replaced the broken spring.
She started and ran great in the slip… will take it out this afternoon and push it to normal rpms…
I plan to post some helpful contacts and sites when things settle down…Rick
Eclipse #73I removed mine many years ago (sealed the core with epoxy) and replaced it with a generic plastic screw in deck plate. I replaced the sighted fuel gauge with a sender and an electric gauge elsewhere in the cockpit.

I have not touched the old fixed ports at the gallery and shower. I guess I’ve been lucky they haven’t leaked.

I installed six 5x12s in the salon and v berth area 15 years ago when we bought Eclipse. Approx 6 years ago I installed two 6x20s – 1 at the head sink and the other on the port side of the aft cabin.. each of the 6x20s required some minor removal of the cabin side fiberglass to fit…
I bought teak trim rings from NFM, which are needed because our cabin walls are so thin. I also used their butyl tape for the first six… it was very gooey and difficult to clean up. For the 6x20s I used the Bed It butyl rubber tape from Maine Sail.
No leaks on any of these ports and they look great.
I still have the old aluminum fixed ports at the galley and shower.

I have been running my Walter V Drive without the water cooling for close to 15 years without any obvious repercussions.

I have hull #73. I installed an airmar depth transducer, that shoots thru the hull, 15 years ago… it is located under the floor of the v berth cabin, just forward of the mast, it continues to work flawlessly.

EclipseI replaced a leaky Raritan with a Superstor SS 6 gal approx 8 or so years ago. The original and current location is the middle space under the aft cabin berth. Satisfied with engine and 110v water heating.

Check out
appears the 63C is a Perkins 4.135 licensed to Mazda and built by them under the S2 designation.

Previous owner of my 424 repowered with a 63C approx 17 years ago.
Not having had any injector issues, I am unaware/uninformed of what I have on my engine.
I am not at the boat now… and won’t get back there til mid week. If I can help by taking pics of my engine/injection pump I’m happy to do it.

Eclipse #73btw… Practical Sailor had an article this month on small propane bottle safety.
The article is attached.
I recently had a small propane bottle leak when it was removed from the gas grill. We couldn’t get it to stop..
I have bought some of the recommended brass caps with gaskets..Rick
