> I installed a #2 pump on Diesel Duck 44 that had a 13" cylinder (BA-175)
and
> it failed on the first four day cruise. The locking pin broke on the motor
> shaft. Installed the smaller #1 pump and it has worked fine for a 9000
mile
> cruise from Hong Kong around the Pacific finally landing in San Francisco.
>
> According to a company rep (AutoNav) the high volume of the #2 pump
> instantly moves the small piston so far that the computer causes the pump
to
> operate back and forth in multiple very short spurts. This can stress the
> shaft.
>
> Note: AutoNav, like me, uses the same computer for #1 and #2.
