Nix the Genny Sea Water Pump Impeller?

I can't find the original thread about this issue, so I will re submit my question.

Has anyone removed the impeller from their genny pump housing and replaced it with an electric pump setup?

My Westerbeke 8.0 BTD is mounted in such a way that the seawater pump is on the back side.

To change it out, I need to disconnect a whack of wiring and hoses, un-bolt the unit from the mounts and spin it at least 45 degrees. Then, I have to work left-handed (not that there's anything wrong with that) and with very little room and leverage.

I understand that some have removed the Impeller, installed an AC pump and wired it into the AC output of the genny to provide the genny an uninterrupted supply of seawater.

Has anyone had experience with this setup?

Update... I found the OP...

Going to review and decide. I'm leaning towards an AC pump or similar setup.
