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 like this one sit in the supply line between the thru-hull fitting and the pump, catching debris before it can damage the pumps internal components. The KlickTite tool-free design makes it practical to clean at the ramp or dockside without carrying tools. The two included connectors cover both 1/2″ and 3/4″ hose runs, so it fits most common livewell plumbing configurations without additional fittings. Pair it with the Johnson Pump 77125 Thru-Hull Intake Filter for a two-stage debris protection system the thru-hull filter catches large debris at the hull, and this inline strainer catches finer particles before they reach the pump. Compatible with the Johnson Pump Aqua Jet Baitwell Pump and the Johnson Pump Aqua O2 Aerator Pump range.
