After a good bit of research,especially from Practical Sailor, I installed
two Attwood pumps in my boat. I put a small 500gph with a built in switch in
the lowest part of the bilge and then installed a large pump on platform.
Didn't want the large pump to cycle on and off trying to pump the bilge dry.
I also reduced the outlet hose on the small pump to 1/2" and placed a loop
in the hose after it exits the bilge to reduce back flow. The small pump
will get the bilge almost dry, and it rarely comes on since I have very
little back flow to refill the bilge at the end of a pump cycle.
