Looks like a great solution, but at 8 3/4 inches long it is too long for
the sump in my 29-2.  I have had a nagging problem with my float switch for
a while.  The main bilge pump works fine when switched on from the breaker
panel.  When the water level reaches the float switch, it will activate the
pump for the first 2-5 times and then the in line circuit breaker for the
float switch pops.  So, if it rains hard, I have to go to the boat (an hour
and 15 away) and manually pump the bilge.  I have replaced the float switch
3 times and get the same results.
