When I was looking to replace my automatic bilge pump switch, the Water Witch
was high on my list of choices until I read this note on the Water Witch
website.

That's what I use for a check valve too. Nobody
ever blamed us for being conventional and no mention of wise either. :)
I have a Whale low profile stuffed way down below
the mast as well. It dries the bilge much better than the old system.

I bought a check valve from Grainger plumbing five years ago a d wouldn't look
back. Keep your bilge clean and you won't have a problem. Installed right
next to bilge pump so access easy.
Raise switch a little, put in che Ck valve. Done.

Raising it doesn't help. Just more water in the bilge. The pump is a Whale.

You can do one of the following:
- Raise the mounting of the water witch.
- Use a smaller diameter, or shorter hose
Check valves are designed for preventing instantaneous backflow.
Pretty much all of them will eventually leak the water back into the bilge,
so you will still cycle, only with a long
Despite the "conventional wisdom" against check valves in bilge discharges,
I've had one in Touche' for a decade and a half with no issues whatsoever.
I think the secret is the type of check valve one installs. Jabsco, Whale
and Bosworth make check valves for bilge discharges. I have this one:

I think that there is general consensus that a check valve in a bilge pump hose
is not a good thing.
But honestly I don’t have a good solution for avoiding the water coming back.

While it would not be my choice, if you do decide to install a check valve,
install it where you can get at it. They do stick shut sometimes, and for no
obvious reason. Happened on a boat that I was crewing off the west coast of
Vancouver Island. Nearly changed out the electric pump before we th

have an electronic switch, - it is pumped through a Whale diaphragm pump,
which doesn't seem to allow much drain back. It is also not high volume, so
an additional centrifugal pump is also helpful.

Can you raise up the Water Witch switch so it is
several inches above the water that drains back into the bilge?
We recently installed the same switch in a Catalina 400 to
eliminate the problem you have. The advantage of the Water Witch
is that it keeps ru

I replaced my automatic bilge pump switch with a waterwhich. When the when
the switch activates the bilge pump, the bilge is pumped relatively dry.
However when the pump shuts off water flows back into the bilge and so the
pump is running in an endless loop. I see my alternatives as installing a

On my 29, there are two screw holes in the mast where it attaches. Do you see
screw holes on yours?
