Sureflo pump problem

Is there a right way to mount or install it. As you can see from the attached pic, I've got it constantly filled with water because of where I placed it. Is that bad? I mean, am I rusting or doing something to the pump to make it fail like this? Any thoughts/suggestions? Thx.
Now, just roaming around in a stock Land Cruiser (not stock for long though... bawahahha [evil laugh])

My pump like yours is always in water and has been working for 8 years or so. I installed my pump low so it always runs wet.
Some of you may recall that I built my own cabinet with sink and faucet. I used the same 1.0gpm sureflo 12v pump that ATC/FWC uses, but after just 2 year my pump died. Electrical connection is fine, but the pump just stopped. One minute it worked, the next it wouldn't. I'm going to order a new one, but here is my question:

2007 Dodge 2500 quad cab 4x4 5.7L Hemi auto and slowly progressing build.
FYI: I've got a bunch of extra 14ga wire in red and black. Its a thick jacket 41strand wire (likely MTW wire) verse typical 19strand automotive wire. It has good flexibility but factor in the thick jacket. I'll ship out 100' coils for $18 (I can go 50' of ea for that too) if anyone is in need of wire.

I'm not sure if this is what they recommend, or just something that we do ?
But having the pump mounted against the wall will give you a little more storage space in the cabinet.
CampingWorld usually has little water pumps like that in stock (on the shelf) for $ 40 - $ 80. Not sure if you have a CampingWorld store in your area ?

Not sure on our price, but Terry in our service dept. can help you out if need be.
