Rule Tournament Livewell Pumps: 209B vs 209FDP & Cartridge ID

Rule Tournament Series pumps circulate water in a boat's livewell or baitwell. The 209B and 209FDP are both 12-volt, 1,600 GPH options, but their bases serve different installations. This guide explains the difference and helps separate a complete pump from a replacement cartridge.

What separates 209B and 209FDP?

The shared 1,600 GPH rating does not make the base configurations identical. Use the model number and actual plumbing to decide.

Rule MPN Product Rated flow Voltage Discharge
209B Bronze-base Tournament livewell pump 1,600 GPH 12 V DC 1-1/8 in
209FDP Dual-port Tournament livewell pump 1,600 GPH 12 V DC 1-1/8 in
46DR Replacement pump cartridge 800 GPH Check matching pump assembly Not a complete discharge assembly

Choose by the pump base and plumbing

  1. Check the required 12 V DC electrical system and confirm the flow requirement for your livewell installation.
  2. Use the 209B when its bronze-base configuration matches the original plumbing design.
  3. Consider the 209FDP for a dual-port installation that needs the additional port for an optional washdown connection; confirm all fittings and plumbing requirements for your boat.
  4. Compare the discharge hose connection (1-1/8 in) with your actual installed plumbing. Both 1,600 GPH models have the same listed discharge size but are not automatically direct replacements.
  5. Do not substitute the 800 GPH 46DR cartridge for a complete 1,600 GPH pump. Verify cartridge compatibility by the original pump's parts information.
GPH ratings identify the manufacturer's nominal pump capacity; actual water flow depends on installation conditions. Verify electrical protection, hose routing and pump installation requirements.
