Im thinking about running aluminum water pumps (circulating) on my new motors, any con's to this, sugestions on brand, fresh water use.

I think electrolosis would eat away the anti-cavatation plate and you would have a leak in very little time.
I have an Edelbrock aluminum on a SBC from my 69 Camaro that I am currently rebuilding. Pump is about 12yrs old and has been seeping some water from the plate gasket. I took it apart to see significant pitting from electrolosis. I would think it would be even worse on a boat.
