WTB: aerator pumps

a well designed can be relied upon to fill and drain EVERY time.

It also is nice that you can run an aerator dry and not fry stuff—+1 for that for sure.

we run 3 boats with aerators and 2 boats without. Aerators never give seem to give any trouble as long as they are primed.

A pre 09 Tige would have had a common manifold for 4 pump with the main intake on the transom. Notorious for air lock issues. Typically had to reverse the boat and goose the throttle to get them primed for the first time each time the boat was launched. 09 and later, each pump had its own thru-hull and they are hull mounted between the v-drive and fuel tank. Still see some with some air lock issues due to how the factory oriented the pump's outlet or the style of check valve used. Many times we've reoriented the pump or used a different check valve.
