aerator pump suggestions

[Eric123]

Hi, i just pulled out the aerator pump on my boat. its a rude 500 gph and was wondering if i should go back with the rude or another brand? It is difficult to get to and is not made like the ones screwed to the hull. so i would like to get a pump that will last a long time thanks for any advice.

P.S. i hope i posted in the right section. i didn't see a section for pumps

Re: aerator pump suggestions

pumps are pumps mostly, I have a Rule 1100 and a Mayfair 500 for my bilge and one a recirculator in my livewell and another as a pump out on the livewell, the recirculator has run on the timer, runs 90 seconds every 3 minutes, for weeks on end with no problem so if you can find a Mayfair pump they are really good.

And yes, they are never fun top get at.

Attwoods are good pumps.

This is the rule pump that looks similar to mine. But mine is a 45 degree shaft and i was wondering is the bottom of this motor mounted to the straight shaft with 4 small screws? i took mine off the boat by removing the 4 small screws and leaving the rest of the pump still screwed down in the other piece. It goes through a small aluminum plate and into a black looking piece. I think this piece is what my lever that dumps the livewell is hooked to. there is a hose at the very bottom that is really hard to get to and if i can replace the motor and take that bottom piece off of it and screw it onto the piece i still have with the 4 small screws then this is what i will need. then i will still have my 45 instead of a straight shaft. I hope i have explained this without confusing anyone.
