 Do not pump oil, diesel fuel, gasoline or other flammable
liquids with this pump.
 Always disconnect power before servicing pump.
 Always use fuse size specified in specification.
 Seacock MUST be closed before removing pump for
service.

INSTALLATION
4 911-1000 (10-01-20)
MOUNTING
(Suggested installation & operation only. Your installation
may vary)
Mount scoop-type thru-hull [high speed pick-up] to hull. Do
not drive screws through hull!
 Below water level thru-hull fittings must have a seacock
shut-off valve.
 Install a 1” NPT-M brass nipple fitting into pump inlet and
mount directly to seacock.
 SHURFLO recommends installing our 330 livewell fill
valve.
PLUMBING
 Use smooth I.D. discharge tubing
 Tubing should be rated for below water line use.
 Always use double clamps for connections below the
water line.
 Tubing should enter tank at top to avoid tank draining
while pump is off. (See illustration for recommended
installation).
Avoid airlock & maximize performance: Avoid any sagging
or loops in the tubing. Tubing must go up from pump to tank.
Use full -flow style valves only. Valve is used to regulate
flow to tank while at rest and while under way (2 different
settings).
ELECTRICAL
 Use 16GA wire for all circuits. If installation is over 20
feet, use 14GA wire.
 Brown pump wire must be connected to positive power.
 When the controller detects a lock rotor condition (high
amps) for more than 10 seconds it will turn the pump off
until power gets reset.
 Use waterproof connectors and splices.
 Attach all wires to UL Marine approvedduty switch rated
at or above 15 amps.
 Wire connections should be made above water level at
the highest possible position.
 Seal wire connections to prevent corrosion and
electrolysis.

OPERATION
5911-1000 (10-01-20)
 Never operate equipment if gasoline fumes are present.
 Always test pump before leaving dock.
 Open sea cock before running pump, do not run pump
dry.
 Tank fill time should be tested at rest and under way.
 Pump will fill tank faster while boat is running at higher
speeds. General tank fill times are between 7 minutes
[warmer water] and 10 minutes [colder water].
 Measure tank fill time from empty while at rest and adjust
valve position for desired time.
 Measure tank fill time at normal cruising speed and
adjust valve to desired time.
 Refer to tank size chart for optimal pump size. Note
position for later reference.
 Always remember to adjust valve when at rest or under
way.
 Flow should be circular and slightly upward so debris
clears from bottom of tank. Flow should not be too fast
that fish get tired.
TIPS: Vibration induced by sea conditions or transportation
may cause plumbing or pump hardware to loosen. Check for
system components that may be loose. Many symptoms can
be solved by simply tightening.
