Don't know how big the hose is, but smaller would leave less to drain. I also have an electronic switch, - it is pumped through a Whale diaphragm pump, which doesn't seem to allow much drain back. It is also not high volume, so an additional centrifugal pump is also helpful.

When the when the switch activates the bilge pump, the bilge is pumped relatively dry. However when the pump shuts off water flows back into the bilge and so the pump is running in an endless loop. I see my alternatives as installing a check valve or installing a different brand of switch. I believe I previously had a Johnson switch. any recommendationsJoel35/3Annapolis -- Joel 301 541 8551
