I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!

Ayuh,..... Bigger is better,....

Only if you have to compensate for something else

The best auto bilge switches I used were the Sure Bails with the Mercury switches. First one lasted 12 years and the one I put in after that is about the same age now. I bought a spare back then so if this one fails I have a replacement. They don’t make these anymore as far as I know….

Gee, I currently use a electronic-sensing auto bilge pump. It has no float to get jammed and they last 5 years or so, before breaking. Every of those pumps that I had (say 6), failed in the electronic water sensor module. The pump would still work on manual.

I transitioned to the auto-sense pump, because a piece of crap got under the float, and guess what happened?

How do you test it?

Instead of bashing bilge pumps, why not fix the water intrusion issue, then no pump worries... My bilge pump is factory original and still works fine, 34 years old.....I don't see the problem....
