I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!

If your marina has a decent WiFi you can most likely set up to get an alert to your phone when water is detected and you can send a signal to turn on and off the pump.

And hope you are in range of WiFi or cell service….lol

Mrs. Dingbat’s new car has a WiFi interface for control and status notifications. Neat feature..ie toy, but takes anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 minutes to send and receive messages, if at all unless the vehicle is connected to WiFi sitting in the garage

Certainly would not relay on WiFi or cell connection to keep my boat afloat.

What would you have done 20 years ago?

Slow is better than no, and don't depend on a cars connection since you are only in the car a few minutes per day.

Back in the day ( 60-70's) when we moored our boat, we made friends with the other boat owners around us. Some were retired, some worked nights etc, so someone was around most of the time. We looked out for each others boats, especially if they were setting low in the water. Nothing better than having a few fellow boaters that gave each others phone numbers and watch out for each others boats.

Yeah its been about 15 years since we were moored and same, plus one of the employees was a liveaboard and walked past us several times a day. Obviously he ate well every weekend we were there.
