Recirc pump replacement HELP!

[MichAngler]

This is a 06 ZX50 and the port recirculation pump housing has cracked
(See Image)

I already know they don’t make this housing any more
If anyone happens to have one I’d love to buy it

BUTT

I’m assuming I will need to replace it the question is what should I replace it with

The new rule pump takes up more space

NOTE: The photo doesn’t show the 3 hoses that run up to the fill and recirc nozzles

If you've dealt with this I'd love to know your solution

There's a guy on Facebook Skeeter page by the name of Steve Smith. He has alot of older Skeeter parts.

Unfortunately Steve doesn’t have one and I’m losing hope on finding one

So after a bunch of measuring and testing I found a pump that fits
First due to the shape of the livewell the only way to mount the pump is upside down just like the original was
I ended up getting a Johnson 38503 Marine Cartridge Pump 500 GPH the 750 will fit as well but sense the original was 500 GPH I figured no need for a larger one

NOTE: the new rule pump design doesn’t work with this setup it’s too wide and tall plus it’s on an angle and there just isn’t enough room for this

Here is the one I picked up
Reason I bought this one is because it comes with the extra 90 degree fitting
