There is an issue with Jabsco live well pumps of which people should be aware. They use a nylon intake fitting (it has a winged black nylon nut and white nylon tube) that with time may fatigue and fracture. If your seacock is open you will sink. My neighbor's 32' Regulator sank at the dock because of this. Likewise I had the fitting on my 21 Regulator breakoff from slight sideways arm pressure while working on an adjacent pump. Since then I close the seacock whenever I leave the boat.
