You need to match the pumping capacity and pressure approximately to the
pump you are replacing. Typical A/C raw water pumps would be too small for
most gensets. Something like

in the 3/4 HP is what I had in mind although it may be a little on the large
size.
Or http://makeashorterlink.com/?M140323BB for a smaller type.

So why aren't all auxiliary motors using this system? Sounds real good. I
take it that a 12v pump like either a Shurflo or Jabsco would work?

I wouldn't say they are maintenance free but the maintenance level is
about
1% of an impeller pump. If you use a centrifugal pump it should be the
"self priming" style just in case it sucks bubbles in from under the
hull
while underway.
Other advantages are:- The raw water drains back when off emptying the
heat
exchanger and reducing electrolysis. It also drains back from the
exhaust
manifold reducing the possibility of water in the cylinder. It also
doesn't
start to pump until the engine starts which will also avoid water in the
exhaust manifold if you have a long cranking time on a difficult start.

install a 115 volt pump connected directly to

Do these pumps have any maintenance at all?
