Planeden Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Capt., Is there a concern with setting return pumps on foam and overheating? Mine is a little bit lower than the bung and thought of putting foam to shim and dampen any vibrations. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I guess I should clarify: it is mounted to wooden planks, which are then placed on the foam pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
