Anybody have any experience with buying parts through Napa for use on your boat? I recently did a major overhaul on a Sherwood P1014 raw water pump for my starboard Crusader. The original Crusader OEM # was P1012 the P1014 replaced that unit. I decided to try the rebuild kit through a marine supplier instead of a new purchase because they wanted $465 for a new pump and $90 for the kit. The rebuild is another story, but lets just say it did not go to well. So I am shopping for a new pump now. While at a Napa Parts I asked the manager if he could get new marine raw water pumps for Crusaders as they are GM engines. He responded that he did not know but took my contact info and said he would give it a try. Sure enough, he called me back and said it was available through Napa. He stated that it would take a couple days for shipping but that my cost would be $221 for a new unit. That's is a hell of a price break. It seems like a good deal, my concern is that automotive parts for marine use may not be to the same standard, however I haven't seen any 454's on the street with raw water pumps either. Looking for comment or personal experiences. Thanks
