Livewell pump for 12 V systems
The Rule 17A is a general-purpose end-suction centrifugal pump built for livewell circulation on 12 V DC electrical systems. It delivers a maximum flow of 3,800 gph at one foot of head and a shut-off head of 25 ft. The 33/1000 hp permanent-magnet motor draws 15.5 A and is designed for manual priming before each use.
Polyacetal housing with stainless shaft
A polyacetal plastic housing and stand resist corrosion while a stainless-steel shaft and PTFE seal handle continuous water contact. The hardwired electrical connection requires a direct 12 V supply and the 1-1/2 in discharge fits standard plumbing. Overall height is 5.25 in, so the pump fits in confined bilge or livewell compartments.
Manual priming and hardware included
The box supplies the pump body with integrated stand, stainless shaft and PTFE seal so no separate seal kit is needed. Because priming is manual, the operator must fill the volute before each start-up to avoid dry running. No controller, hose or wiring harness is bundled, so installers provide their own fused supply leads and discharge hose.
