I've been trying to research the specs for an electric fresh water pump system.. GPH, wattage, etc.. turns out, it's pretty scarce stuff.
I was just thinking... in a pinch, could one simply adapt an off the shelf 12v pump for the raw water side?
Such as this?

I'm sure there's a very good reason... longevity, noise, service, etc... but what makes a $500 marine impeller pump (which requires an expensive $122.00 service kit) different other than limited production and "boat" tax?
