Hi,

Wondering what other 29-2 owners have for their bilge pump setups?

I have a manual pump from the cockpit and 2" hose for that. I am thinking
to fasten it with a nylon hose clip to the upper end of the bilge for big
water removal and have the electric one at the lower end. I would like it
fastened in position so it can't move and interfere with the float switch.

There is a small 600 gph electric pump otherwise with a 3/4" outlet hose
connected with an old Rule float switch. I would like to replace the float
switch since it hasn't been very reliable. In trying to read about newer
options I can't seem to find much consistency on what's good. This bilge
also has two 1" keel bolts that make mounting a pump and switch a bit
tricky.

The Ultra Pump Switch Junior seems to rate high online, but is not
particularly easy to find in Canada.

Just buy a new Rule switch and pump and plan to replace every few years?
