All this is good advice. The thing I'm finding not so good is that, while we all faithfully install tinned marine wire in hopes of staving off corrosion, equipment and bilge pump makers still frequently use untinned copper wire that is very prone to corrosion. Shame! Rich > On May 27, 2014, at

Yes, you should have a bilge pump. Whale makes a perfect pump for your boat. See: http://ca.binnacle.com/p2230/WHALE-SUPERSUB-SMART-BILGE-PUMP-650-GPH-SS5212/product_info.html The pump also comes in an 1100 gph version. A wiring diagram is included that shows it both directly connected to a batt

Mark, Rich may offer a different solution but here's how I generally install a bilge pump. Get the biggest Rule pump that will fit the space and a separate Rule float switch, either the Rule-a-Matic or the Superswitch. If you want a better float switch and it will fit, get the USS Ultra Pumpswit
