Johnson Pump 60000 Cartridge Aerator Kit, 1000 GPH 12V Livewell and Baitwell Aerator Pump

The Johnson Pump 60000 Cartridge Aerator Kit is a complete 12 volt aerator pump system built to fill, aerate, and empty a livewell or baitwell. At the center of the kit is a cartridge aerator pump with a low current draw of 3.4 amps, so it can run for extended periods without putting excessive strain on the boat's battery. The kit is rated to move up to 1000 gallons per hour and is designed to work in both fresh and saltwater applications.

A key feature is the split-design aeration spray bar, which allows for flexible mounting positions to suit different livewell or bait tank layouts. The pump itself can be installed either hard-mounted with screws or set in place using the included suction feet, giving boat owners flexibility depending on the mounting surface available. The kit bundles everything needed for a functional aeration setup in one package, from tubing and wiring to battery connection hardware and a foam filter, making it a straightforward way to add reliable aeration to an existing tank or container. Backed by Johnson Pump's reputation for dependable marine pump technology, the Cartridge Aerator Kit is intended to deliver years of consistent service for anglers who need to keep bait alive and fresh on the water.
