Bigger is not better too much pump capacity could lead to airlocks and damage delicate bait. Mount the pump as low and close to the hull as possible. C series with 4" (102mm) angled pickup tube for through hull applications. STC series with 4-3/4" (121mm) straight pickup tube for through hull applications. FC series 500, 800, and 1100 GPH models with 3/4" (19mm) and 1600 GPH model with 1" (25mm) tapered thread pickup tube for seacock applications.
