My boat came with the three ballast pump motors attached to the transom. One was mounted with the pump head below the motor and the other two mounted with the pump heads above the motors. The problem with the head below the motor was that it was a pain to change the impeller. The problem with the pump head above the motor is that water inevitably drips into the motor and corrodes out the motor. The two motors that were below the pump heads were pretty severely corroded but surprisingly somewhat worked.
My project was to build HDPE shelves for the motors to sit on to eliminate both pro
