Collection: Livewell Pumps

Keeping bait and catch alive depends on matching the right pump to your boat's plumbing and tank size. Flow rate is the starting point: Johnson Pump's Aqua O2 aerator models run at 500 or 800 GPH and suit smaller setups, while the 1100 GPH Commodore and 1600 GPH Rule Tournament Series pumps are designed for larger livewells on fishing-focused boats. If your electrical system runs on 24V, the Johnson Pump Pro Series is the pump to specify. Johnson Pump also stocks dedicated baitwell pumps rated in GPM for anglers running a separate live bait tank alongside the main livewell.

Mounting configuration and port layout vary across the range and should guide your choice. Commodore's angled and short vertical models fit low-clearance compartments where a standard pump will not sit flat. Johnson Pump's Aqua O2 uses a flexible mount, and the twin-port versions distribute aeration across two outlets for more even water circulation. Rule's Tournament Series comes in both a dual-port model and a bronze-base version suited to saltwater fishing. Shurflo by Pentair adds further options in the lineup. Measure your compartment before ordering, and confirm voltage and port count match your existing system.
