The problem with the Sherwood pumps is the required maintenance that is NOT performed on most of them.
Sherwood: 4 years major rebuild kit Cost: 188.00
Sherwood: 2 years minor kit Cost: 80.00
Impeller: Every year
I just replaced both mine. The bearings no grease left lots of corrosion .

Re: Here We Go Again
Jeff? Why the relay? I have had mine on STB act up but it was first the Solenoid, then couple of times the ignition wire was loose on the Solenoid. Pulling the starter might be only option.
