Shurflo Livewell - Aerator Pumps

When it comes to keeping bait and catch alive during extended fishing trips, Shurflo's livewell pumps are designed for extremely long life in a sport fishing environment, making them a trusted choice for serious anglers. The brand's specialized lineup of livewell and aerator pumps combines innovative engineering with rugged construction to meet the demanding requirements of marine baitwell applications.

Bait Sentry: Magnetic Drive Innovation

At the heart of Shurflo's livewell pump offerings is the Bait Sentry series, which stands out for its magnetic drive technology that eliminates unnecessary failures. Unlike traditional mechanically-connected pumps, the Bait Sentry has a unique magnetically-driven impeller that can ingest large amounts of debris without damage to the motor. This design advantage means that when fishing in weedy or debris-filled waters, the pump continues operating reliably without the seal failures and motor burnouts that plague conventional livewell pumps.

Three distinct Bait Sentry models accommodate tanks from 6 gallons through 62 gallons, ensuring proper water circulation regardless of your livewell capacity. The series includes 500 GPH, 800 GPH, and 1100 GPH flow rate options to match different vessel configurations and fishing styles.

Anti-Airlock Technology for Rough Conditions

One critical feature that sets Shurflo livewell pumps apart is their anti-airlock feature that allows the pump to clear trapped air in rough water or when the boat is anchored. This patented system automatically purges air from the livewell circuit, maintaining consistent oxygenation even when conditions would normally cause cavitation and pump failure. For tournament anglers who need to keep fish alive during weigh-ins or recreational fishermen dealing with choppy offshore conditions, this reliability advantage can make the difference between a successful day and a livewell full of dead bait.

Pro Baitmaster II for Heavy-Duty Applications

For larger livewell systems and more demanding washdown needs, Shurflo Pro Baitmaster II Heavy Duty Livewell Pumps are designed for the toughest marine washdown and livewell applications. These diaphragm-style pumps feature continuous duty permanent magnet motors and deliver higher pressures than centrifugal models, making them suitable for dual-purpose installations where the same pump handles both livewell circulation and deck washdown duties.

Whether you're rigging a new center console for offshore trolling or replacing a worn-out pump in your bass boat, Shurflo's specialized engineering for livewell and aerator applications delivers the reliability and performance that serious anglers demand.
