Shurflo BAIT SENTRY 500 Magnetic Drive Livewell Pump – 500 GPH – 1700-001-030
Keep your bait and catch healthy with the Shurflo BAIT SENTRY 500 Magnetic Drive Livewell Pump 1700-001-030, a compact and efficient pump designed for reliable livewell and baitwell water circulation. With a flow rate of 500 gallons per hour (GPH), this pump delivers consistent, quiet water movement to maintain optimal conditions in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
The BAIT SENTRY 500 features magnetic drive technology, providing continuous-duty operation while minimizing wear and extending service life. Its submersible and compact design allows for easy installation in small livewell compartments, making it perfect for recreational anglers, tournament boats, and small commercial applications.
Built to Shurflo and Pentair marine-grade standards, this pump ensures dependable performance, quiet operation, and long-lasting durability for all your livewell needs.
Key Performance Features
This pump is designed for tournament anglers who require a "fail-safe" system for keeping bait healthy over long periods.
-
Magnetic Drive Technology: By separating the motor from the impeller chamber, this design creates a leak-proof system. If the impeller becomes jammed with debris, the magnets will simply decouple, preventing the motor from burning out.
-
Anti-Airlock Design: Includes a patented feature that automatically clears trapped air. This ensures the pump remains self-priming even when the boat is moving at high speeds or navigating through rough, aerated water.
-
Dual Port Versatility: The base features a secondary 1/2" NPT inlet port, allowing you to connect a washdown pump to the same thru-hull fitting. This reduces the number of holes required in your hull.
-
Continuous Duty Rated: The 12V DC motor is built for constant operation and can run dry without damage, providing peace of mind if your intake becomes blocked.

Summary for the User
The Bait Sentry 500 is the ideal choice for mid-sized bait tanks where reliability is the top priority. Its seal-less design and low amp draw make it one of the most durable and efficient 500 GPH pumps on the market.
Installation Tip: When mounting, ensure the pump is positioned below the waterline (flooded inlet) to ensure consistent performance. Use 3/4" ID reinforced hose for the discharge to maintain maximum flow.
Installation Tip
Since this is a centrifugal pump, it is not self-priming and must be mounted below the waterline (flooded inlet). For the best results, use a 2 Amp fuse as recommended by the manufacturer to protect the 12V electrical system.
