[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 416808, member: 15636"] For a GREAT reliable bilge pump that uses [b]no moving parts[/b] (uses field-effect technology that 'senses' water) consider the Marpac 500 bilge pump, only $56 or so. Here's one retailer: https://www.marinesurplusinc.com/marpac-premier-600-gph-automatic-bilge-pump/ These are actually pumps made by Johnson Pump and their brand of pumps were always the top rated pumps as tested by the former [i]"Power Boat Tests" [/i]magazine, which was a type of 'consumer reports' for offshore boating. My bother had a Johnson pump last 14-seasons in his Grady White and even then he only had to change out the pressure changing switch, not the pump assy itself. In any boat I've ever installed a Johnson pump ... I've never had to replace it. Most of the fleet of boats at my boatclub (16 at the dock) now have Johnson pumps, and it seems like every year we change out 1 or 2 Rule pumps to be Johnson or Marpacs. [/QUOTE]
