Does anyone can identify the model of this live well pumps? They don't work I want to change them or if possible I don't know if I can just replace the motor of the pumps. They are in a 2002 Nitro 185ss.

I believe the red and black one is a bilge pump and the red and white one is your live well pump. The red and white one is a $25 pump, no use trying to rebuild it. The red and black one if it is the bilge pump is about 4 times that.

The First one is a Johnson, other is a Rule

Need to be able to read the numbers on the side if you want the same size. They are both probably a 300 to 500 GPH pumps

I believe this two are the live wells pumps we have a rear and a front. There's a third pump which is the bilge pump. I was trying to repair this one's because space is very reduced there to work comfortable. I find in Amazon the kit for the Johnson that one seems to be easy, the other one looks like a Rule but either it is not or is a discontinued model because I didn't find anything similar. Thanks

Pumps are not that expensive, why not replace them with new, then you will know the pump and the wiring is good to go. Based on over 60 years of boating, don't cut corners, fix correctly what needs fixing....end result has been.... never needed a tow in all those years !

Yeah I'm not concerned if the cost but that it is in a very tight place uncomfortable to work and that after removing them to start having leaks, same as you I usually don't cut corners but in this case I'm thinking about that option.
