Burks 9126 Pump Base - Replacement Part
The Burks 9126 is the genuine Burks pump base. It is the mounting foot that carries the pump and motor assembly and transfers its weight and running loads into whatever the unit is bolted down to.
Check the base whenever a pump has developed a vibration nobody can explain. A soft foot, a cracked mounting or a distorted base produces symptoms that look like an unbalanced impeller or a failing bearing, and replacing those parts will not fix it.
Mount it on a flat surface and shim any gap rather than pulling the bolts down onto an uneven foundation. Drawing a base flat by force puts a twist into the assembly it is supposed to be holding straight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a cracked base be welded?
It can be, but a crack usually means the base has been flexing, and welding it without addressing the mounting leaves the same stress in the same place. A new base on a properly prepared foundation is the more durable answer.
Q: Do anti-vibration mounts help?
They can reduce what is transmitted into the structure, but they also allow more movement at the pump, which puts extra demand on flexible pipe connections. Follow the installation guidance for the pump rather than improvising.
Q: Does the base affect pump performance?
Not directly, but it affects how long the pump lasts. A unit that is held rigidly and squarely runs with less vibration, and vibration is what shortens the life of seals and bearings.
Q: How do I confirm this fits my pump?
Compare the bolt pattern, the overall footprint and the height against the part you are removing. Send us the pump model and a picture if you want it checked before you order.
Not sure this is the right part? Send us a Picture of the pump plate on your pump and the CLR Marine team will confirm the correct pump base before you order.
