Problems with Aerator Pump

[TuFerLife]

Hey guys, I noticed the other day I was taking on water LIKE CRAZY! I opened up the hatch and noticed my aerator pump had a slow leak in it, but after 8 hours on the lake in a day, she'll take on some serious water. I noticed because I turned the bilge on one day and it bilged for like 7 or 8 minutes... Haha! Anyways, it looks like it's leaking in between where the pump meats the main line, just didn't know if it was an issue that I could just tighten up, maybe a bad seal, or do I need a new pump... Just a question, if anyone has any insight, I'd greatly appreciate it...

If you're gonna work on em, you might as well put new ones on... they're not that expensive.

emoThumbsup If ytou are going to get that far into the pump area it's better just to put new ones in

I agree. Buy a new one. Could be a crack and as soon as you touch it, it breaks. Been there, done that.

Thanks for the info... Anyone know where I can get one? It's a Rule Hi-flow Aerator Pump... 12 volts... Maybe that reads 5 amp fuse protected... I'll add a picture if anyone knows where I can get one... I'll post a picture if anyone can help... Thanks!
