It is the genuine Sta-Rite part and appears in the Max-E-Pro Series, Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II parts breakdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the horsepower first\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis base is listed for 3 HP only. Bases are horsepower specific because the motor they carry changes in size and mounting, so read the horsepower off the motor label rather than going by the pump family name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the base does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base carries the motor and holds it square to the wet end. When it corrodes through or cracks, the motor settles slightly out of line and the shaft no longer runs true. That misalignment quietly chews through shaft seals and can put the impeller out of position, so a failing base is worth replacing rather than shimming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sta-Rite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634426917076,"sku":"STA-101-7505","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_88a6fae6-6f13-41c0-b422-6a0cf424e5e2.gif?v=1788830511","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/base-w-motor-pad-3hp-only","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
