original aereators in 1999 - 896 savage nitro

[brantley moats]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT NAME BRAND AND CAPACITY AERATORS WERE ORIGINALLY FACTORY INSTALLED IN A 1999 896 SAVAGE NITRO. I HAVE TWO TYPES IN MY BOAT . ONE OF THEM DOES NOT FIT INTO THE ORIGINAL BRACKET AND APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN JERRY-RIGGED INTO THE BILGE AREA.

I can't tell you on the 99 but I have a 96 and the original ones in that doat I could not find so I installed a different brand and kind. I just tried to make sure they would fit in the hull. I guess what I'm saying is shop around with the size measurments that you will need.

I believe they were Rule back then (red, white & blue), but any of the 3/4" NPT pumps should work with your factory plumbing. My preference is a 1000 GPH min. on bilge and 750's on livewells. More in each case is often better. (Within reason because you don't want to blast your catch in the livewell and foam like crazy or blow fittings off.) Good luck!
