SHURFLO Bait Sentry Livewell Pump 1700-001-030, 12 Volt DC, 500 GPM, Above Ground

The SHURFLO Bait Sentry Livewell Pump (part number 1700-001-030) is a 12 volt DC above-ground pump built to keep bait and catch alive in the livewell during a day on the water. It uses a magnetically-driven impeller, which means there is no direct mechanical seal between the motor and the impeller, so debris passing through the pump will not damage the motor. Because there are no seals to leak, the pump can run dry indefinitely without burning out, which protects against accidental dry-running when a livewell runs low.

An anti-lock feature helps the pump clear trapped air automatically, which keeps it working even when rough water or wave action introduces air into the intake line. The housing includes a second inlet port, allowing a washdown pump to be plumbed in alongside the livewell circuit for a more flexible plumbing setup on board. The pump has a clear, above-ground housing and measures 18 inches long by 24 inches wide by 11 inches high. It is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
