My fresh water tank pump filed. It was a Par Max Plus, 4GPM, 12amps, 15 amp fuse. The closest replacement I could find was a Jabsco Par Max, 4GPM, 10 amp, 15 amp fuse. It works but makes a thumping sound and trips the breaker after continued use. Especially when I run the shower?
My dock neighbor suggested that maybe it's too powerful if it's tripping the breaker. But that doesn't seem likely given the specs? Maybe it's just a bad pump?

Re: Fresh water pump.
Before you do anything, like replacing the pump, I suggest replacing the breaker first. Breakers do go bad and yours may be headed that way.

Re: Fresh water pump.
As to the thumping sound…turn on several faucets at the same time, full blast and see if the thumping goes away. Let us know what happens.
