Hi My 37+ has 750gph in a shallow bilge and 1250gph in the deep bilge. I am replacing the backup manual pump from the cockpit that if you have a frightened man aboard is rated at 15 gpm (in that range, the more scared you are the higher the rating)! The mechanism recently failed so a brand new pump is waiting my return to be installed. The previous owner had installed both electric pumps incorrectly so I had an electrician come aboard and identify the appropriate circuits for me to install new Rule pumps. Both now function both auto and via panel switch. If you double the capacity the wiring and breakers need to be adjusted as well. Lots of info on the Internet. It's not rocket science and everyone has a different opinion on the proper setup. Good luck Rick Paikea37+ Poulsbo, WA
