Hmmm... that explains something I was wondering about. I got mine a while back....several boats ago. Put it away and "lost" it in the clutter known as my garage. Found it just about the time when I got my V21. Thought I'd like to have one in the 20 and 21, so went online to buy one... and couldn't find them.
Only thing I can think of is if the probes corrode the unit might not sense the presence of water and turn the bilge pump on. And in an emergency that could just ruin your day. With a mechanical switch, everything is sealed so water corrosion isn't a factor... (which we all know isn't true, but that's what they would like us to believe).
All that being said, I still like mine and will continue to use it. (Although I think I might wire in a mechanical switch in a high water position as a safety)
