Review on 🚀 High-Performance Jabsco Rule Marine Rule Replacement Motor for Tournament Series Livewell Pumps by Michael Hogate

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The problem with these pumps is that they are made for that.

The problem with these pumps is that they fail quickly, especially in salt water. The small rotor or fan at the bottom of the pump is attached to a short shaft that spins, causing water to "pump" through the system. The problem is that the shaft rusts and breaks and you have a running motor but a pump that has stopped pumping water. I've had the boat for over 10 years now and I change the pump at least twice a year. The last exchange only lasted 2 months. The reason I keep buying and replacing this particular pump is because I'm going to have a hard time swapping out the fittings that go through the hull when I'm keeping the boat on the water. A simple stainless steel shaft would probably extend the life of the pump, but then you wouldn't have to replace it as often.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Useless features
