    Bait Pump Question

    I believe my bait pump is a 2002 and it is used on a 30gal bait tank. Does anyone know if you leave the bait pump on (I did for about 20min) while the boat is out of the water, will the bait pump burn up? Similar to the impeller on a lower unit. Any input is appreciated...thanks.
