Shurflo Baitmaster Pro II Livewell Pump, 12V 4.0 GPM, Replaces 4901

The Shurflo Baitmaster Pro II is a heavy duty livewell and washdown pump built for harsh marine environments. It circulates water to keep bait and catch alive in tanks of 35 gallons and under, and doubles as a washdown pump when needed on board. The motor is protected by an integral thermal breaker and finished with an electro-coating that inhibits corrosion, while the pressure switch is fully sealed for a long working life in wet conditions. Note that the Baitmaster Pro II is not submersible, but it can be mounted in a location where splashed water is present.

Inside, a co-molded diaphragm and four independent pumping chambers deliver steady flow at 4.0 GPM, backed by a built-in check valve to prevent backflow. The pump is self-priming up to 6 feet and can run dry without damage, so an empty line will not burn it out. It is ignition protected and thermally protected, and Shurflo backs it with a 2 year warranty. This pump is a direct replacement for Shurflo part number 4901, making it a straightforward swap for boaters upgrading or replacing an older livewell pump.
