Livewell/washdown pump replacement

[beamie]

I have a huge rule 17a washdown pump. But someetimes that is overkill and sucks lots of amps.

this year I added a second rule 403FC seacock pump. Like it so far. It has a removable motor pump pack so in the future you can replace if it fails.

Just a thought. I had the same system on my boat from the factory, and I had pump failures using it for long periods for the livewell.
A washdown pump is good for pressure and washing. But for a livewell I went with a separate live well pump. They draw much less from the batteries too....been working great since. Also the Rule pump I got had a second outlet for the washdown so no need for an extra hole through the hull.

Something to think about.
