I have a Shurflo Bait and Livewell pump. Does anyone know if it matters whether I mount it vertically or on its side?
i have had issues before with it not priming (my boat is quite shallow draft and it’s as low as I can get it) .... it’s always been mounted vertically but I see in the instruction manual it shows horizontal mounting?

I’ve got three functional shurflo pumps mounted horizontally on my Pursuit.

Do you use the out take for a wash down pump at all? Wondering how that works?Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:18 pm I’ve got three functional shurflo pumps mounted horizontally on my Pursuit.

1 pump is for the bait tank, 1 is a macerator pump for the bait box and the last pump is for the raw water wash down. All mounted side by side horizontally. The wash down doubles as a backup pump for the bait tank.

Re: Shurflo bait pump mounting
Do you run it to a high pressure pump for the wash down - or does it generate enough pressure itself?Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 7:35 pmYes sir, works great.TomTom wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 12:36 pmDo you use the out take for a wash down pump at all?

Re: Shurflo bait pump mounting
No, the shurflo wash down pump is ran directly into the deck hose. Works perfectly.
