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. -- Tim Rutherford 1981 C&C 36-1 KCB #244 Chamamé tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com Tampa, Florida On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 4:02 PM Matt Wolford via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Listers: > > New topic.
