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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

2 months of work and the shaft rusted again! Cheap junk. Less than 1 star.

In 2019 I bought a lightly used 2019 295 Everglades which came with this pump of this brand and size and lasted just over a year. I'm not sure if the Rule was installed by the first owner or if it's from the Everglades, but in late March 2020 the impeller shaft rusted on it so I figured it was just a bad pump and bought another. I installed it on April 1st and on June 20th 2020 the impeller shaft was rusted and the pump failed 80 miles offshore killing our $800 fishing trip. ONLY 2.5 MONTHS on this pump! Unacceptable! I flush my pumps after every ride to drain the saltwater, but these pumps fail the same way every time. China must have made the stainless steel used in the mine cheaper, and Jabsco Rule shouldn't have quality control. My other boat comes complete with 3 Johnson Spx pumps and after 4 seasons they are still working. Stay away from the rules. I have included a picture of the bilge area to show how clean the boat is and how well maintained it is with very little corrosion or rust as the marine world wants to blame the environment for failed components. Not in my grip is not!

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
