Default well pump success

We've been in (built in '60) the same camp for 60 years. We started with jet pumps and they had to be replaced every few years. In the course of doing that, we relocated the pump to avoid the noise. It never really worked. About 20 years ago, ISS installed a well pump. Absolute blessed silence. Never had an electrical issue. We do run the feed lines (water and electric) through an extra 6" piece of PVC close to the shore to provide extra protection where the feeds rub against shoreline rocks and ice. No problems there either. The pump, etc are all outside our breakwater where there is no boat traffic. We do not run a winter bubbler. If you live on the mainland, any plumber can do the job.
