Sump and Bait Well Pump Care
These types of pumps are notorious for having problems. With some basic care
you can extend the life of these pumps. Here are a few ideas to help keep them
running:
- Don't run pump dry. Running the pump dry can cause overheating and
premature failure. If it gets hot enough it can crack the casing and allow
water into the boat thru the cracked casing.
- Don't run pumps when underway. Depending on the location of your water
inlet pickup, it is possible to run the pump dry or only under partial
pressure.
- Do flush the pump with fresh water after each use. Sand, mud, and shell
will get in the impeller area and tear it up.
- If you can get to your pump, take it out once a season and clean it well.
A little care here can save lots of time running to the marine supply store
and re-wiring a new pump.
