Johnson Pumps integrated pump and electronic sensor 32-47260-003 1000 GPH
Ultima Bilge Pump, 12V, works good for me now.

The bilge on my centerboard boat is quite shallow and there is no room for
a switch at the same level as the pump resulting in more than necessary
residual water level  if controled with a typical float switch. This pump
requires careful placement to ensure proper start-stop operation. First
unit ran dry and failed but was replaced under warranty. Works with a
typical 3-wire bilge control panel.

Pump runs dry sometimes when sailing heeled over so occassionally have to
switch to manual.

This freed up the existing rule-matic switch to be used as a high water
sensor wired to a water witch BP500 alarm mounted topside in the cockpit.

Wish I had a diaphragm pump for a really dry bilge but with the A/C running
almost nonstop here in Florida, and draining condensate into the bilge,
it's not a likely solution.
