[QUOTE="Brian121804, post: 466928, member: 6026"] Well, I bought & just returned an Ultima 600 to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R4PFUO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The field effect switch seemed to work well, however the pump cavitated about halfway between the high and low limits. It would stop pumping water and never shut off. Move the discharge hose over to the $10 shoreline pump right next to it, & it pumps it out nearly dry. Tried multiple positions, to no avail. At this point I'm just gonna install a cheap mechanical switch & hope for the best. It's just a little 14 foot utility boat, no actual bilge, pretty sure it'll be fine. Heading up to the Manitowish chain in another week or so, hopefully I won't actually need it. [/QUOTE]
