Where can I find a 6 Volt Livewell pump?
 
My 12 volt Atwwod pump craps out after 5-6 hours. Where can I find a 6 Volt Livewell pump? :biggrinjester:

What volt and amp hour battery do you run it with.

THE DARKHORSE 09-26-2009 07:27 PM

Hmmm...
 
Since you have a four stroke Yamaha behind you, how about getting a larger battery?

That way you can keep my 500 lb fury friend busy for hours on end:biggrinjester:.

They don't make 6 Volts pumps as far as I know.

-What we do is run the 12 Volt pump with a 6 Volt battery, thats how its done.
Get yourself a 6 Volt 12 amp battery and it will run all day long without a problem.

The pump will run at half of its rated speed and will be much quieter.

do you need a different charger?

Dennis 09-27-2009 08:19 AM

Even with a timer switch?

Yes

This is the perfect charger IMO.
http://store.schumachermart.com/sem-1562a.html

It charges Both 6 Volt and 12 Volt Batteries. and it does it at a rate of 1.5 Amps, so it will not warp the plates inside of the battery.

It also automatically switches to a float charge, so you can leave it on for a long while if you choose.

I have several of them I use for my motorcycles, and they have worked flawlessly.
-Best of all- Walmart sells them for $18

All you Hobie guys say your tanks run all day & the Hobie website says they run a 6 volt pump if I am not mistaken (250-300 GPH?) - My 12 volt pump runs 500 GPH and I am looking to get more mileage out of my battery.

Josh - You know I tried to pawn that dog off on you a few weeks ago as I was the only engine out at LJ and he wouldn't leave me alone. Aren't guides supposed to take one on the chin for their clients ? :biggrinjester:

Hobie uses a 6v battery on a 12v 500 gph pump. Its the same pump we have used in KayaTanks for a few years and now use in the Stealth pump kits.

FARRIER 09-27-2009 12:00 PM

Is there a 12v pump with a lower gpm rating that draws less power available??

Siebler 09-27-2009 12:55 PM

Rule makes a 360gph but thats about it.

Run a timer if you want everything 12v and need less flow/ battery usage.
