For those with Livewell pumps on Stealth series
It works fine, but it sounds like a blender. I checked the inlet, and there is nothing clogging it, and no kinks in the tubing. It sounds more like cavitation vibration than something going on with the impeller. It much quieter when its out of the water |

Had one, a good reliable, maintenance free fairly quiet pump, quieter than the hobie bait tanks thats for sure. But im sort of getting used to the gurgling bong overflow drain, although the same tsunami pump, super easy to clean and take apart. If its a tiny bit nosiy thats normal if its enough noise to really bother you and make you wonder if its spooking wsb then i think a new ones about thirty bucks.

I have a stealth 12 and my pump is pretty quiet, don't really notice it when its on, that is if it works. Which it usually doesn't work properly.

If your intake ever gets plugged up, blow some air through the system. If you cannot get the pump to prime, suck a little water in. This thing works great. Bob |

Not to thread jack but ive gotta know, the tsunami pump (same as stealth) in the hobie tank on mine is quiet but the tank itself with that white overflow drain pipe makes a loud gurgling sound like a bong, not that I dont like this sound but it is a bit noisy, definatley loud enough for me to bring up, now do you guys not experience that, im wondering if theres a may to silence that?

Yeah thanks mine has the holes pre drilled but its still a bit loud just seeing if anything else can be done. I may try drilling a couple more lower that way the holes will act as the drain as opposed to the holes being the secondary drain and the main hole of the pipe being the primary drain. Were trying to be stealth here people or we'd all be on hatteras's oh yeah that and the 500k
