Parts Desk Insights

The PUMProtector is the right addition to any livewell or baitwell plumbing run where debris, grass, or sediment could reach the pump particularly on boats fishing in shallow, weedy, or silty water. Inline strainers sit in the supply line between the thru-hull fitting and the pump, catching debris before it can damage the pumps internal components. This model includes three KlickTite connectors (two 1/2″ and one 3/4″), giving you a spare 1/2″ connector for dual-port installations or as a backup. If you only need one connector of each size, the Johnson Pump PUMProtector 2-Connector model is available at a lower price point. For a first line of defence at the hull, pair this strainer with the Johnson Pump 77125 Thru-Hull Intake Filter for two-stage debris protection. Compatible with the Johnson Pump Aqua Jet Baitwell Pump and the Johnson Pump Aqua O2 Aerator Pump range.
