Sorry for the repost.
I have a 1999 BayStealth 1880. I've had it for 2.5
years and I've had to change the freshwater intake
pump 3 times. It lasts about 4 months and then
starts making noises like its bearings are going
out.(I don't know that there are bearings, but
that's what it sounds like.) For a couple months
more it continues to work but starts screeching
until finally it stops working. Curiously, the last
one I changed had blown the fuse so I replaced the pump
with a new one. When I tested the old one outside
the boat it worked fine! There seems to be
something about the way the freshwater
distribution system is set up in the boat that it
eventually wears down these pumps. I've used an
Attwood 750 livewell pump each time. The pump
is thru the hull in the back of the boat and the
livewell is probably six feet forward from there. I
could replace it with a stronger pump. I'm just
wondering if anyone has any insight.
Thanx ahead of time.
