I replaced my troublesome automatic Rule pump with Johnson 750 or 1000
gph / Water Witch switch combo. (

) Like yours. the way my sump is designed only the smaller pumps fit. The
Rule pump had the stupid system that measures impeller resistance and with
slightest amount of crap in the water, the impeller got fouled and made the
pump run 24 / 7.
The Water Witch is fool proof so far and the pump works fine.
The only thing is: With the long run to the stern discharge the pump would
not prime with the joker valve so I have to do without and a couple cups of
water regurgitates in the sump after pumping.. The nice thing is with
that sump design the rest of the bilge is bone dry and since we sail pretty
often all year long, the water does not stay there long enough to smell.
Eventually I'll get a little wet / dry vac to suck it up before we close
the boat on Sunday night.
