I went with the larger transformer and put a heat sink on the rectifier.
Then ran the pump with it for a half hour.
Max run time is expected to only be around 20 minutes max.
Warm transformer:
My standard heat sink configuration. The heat sink on the out side of the housing and the rectifier stuck to the heat sink through a hole.
I use heat sink paste between the rectifier and heat sink then seal the heat sink to the plastic enclosure with RTV. I do not use RTV as heat sink paste.
The transformer and heat sink are already attached to their enclosure. Now all I need to do is add gland type strain seals to let the wires in and out and wire it up.
