Re: bilge pump
 
another bilge pump question? I've had trouble with the float switches and just noticed the bilge pumps with the sensor that starts the pump every minute or so and if it detects a higher amp load than a "freewheeling" impeller, it keeps running until the amp load drops. Has anybody had any experience with them?

yeah, i installed one, it went bad in less than a week, installed another, lasted less than a day. Replaced it with a Rule standard pump and a sure bail switch. That was right when they came out with them, they may have gotten better, i'm not going to be the one to test them

One (not suprisingly from MJ) about blocking them up - with any luck, I hope to have some fish scales to rinse off the deck, and I don't need a plugged up pump. On my '85, the deck "self bailes" by draining into the bilge, so the pump actually does the bailing.
Everyones picking on me :'(

I agree with the "Have pumps" posts. I have one on an auto float switch and another on a dash switch. I have used them both as recently as as two weeks ago.
If it's a self bailing deck I'd even have a big one on deck in case you get swamped or stuff the bow in a huge wave. As well, Make sure you keep the scuppers clear at all times too.
All boats can sink. Even Boston Whalers...tho' not to the bottom but, I've seen'm with only the bow breaching the water. Not a pretty sight.

Actually, that was a complement - I think you're gettin' too much in touch with your feminine side - no thongs on Cape Cod please!!!

BTW - excellent movie - you don't look like such a tender flower in those pictures.

And another thing - I had to learn how to do that "Quote" thing so I could give you a hard time - I'm really the victim here.

Install a bilge pump ....... I can't believe that someone would tell you that ........ it's one thing to take a chance for yourself ........ it's quite another to endanger someone else especially for something that's $30 - $100 installed ........

water gets in many ways and it does sink boats ....... I even have one on my 16 ft flatbottom bass boat ........ install a bilge pump and hope you never have to use it .....
