Mason Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I love my 2000 model 2200v that is still going strong. I plan to replace the Marelon valve (going bronze) and while I am there I want to replace the original Rule strainers and 700 pumps. Cant find the same pumps or strainers . I am sure others have run into this so sharing for feedback. Pics attached. One inlet pump from bottom inlet only. Also, can anyone confirm valve size....I believe it is a 1" NPT. Going back bronze marine grade full body Apollo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks for the response, but there are some specific questions in mine that the post you mentioned did not answer. Want to replace strainers. What are folks using now? Also want to confirm valve size is 1". thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsnookyrd Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 The strainers are available here, just click on the Get MBG Gear tab and look under parts and decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think the valve is 3/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Gantt Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Does the 700 pump come on only in water or is it totally switch operated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Your bait pumps are all switch operated. They will operate out of the water, but you'll burn your pump out very quickly. Mason, I would suggest that you replace your pumps with pumps that have a replaceable motor. It is so much easier to replace just the motor than to replace the entire pump. Purchase an extra motor and keep it on hand. Also, it appears in the pic that your strainer is mounted in the vertical position. This may contribute to "air lock" and prevent your pump from getting a prime. When you replace the strainer, mount it with the glass bowl in the down position if you have room below, or on a 45 degree angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
