Default Guys video their own sinking!

I don't know what to make of the narration. I think I'd be a little more humble if it were me.

That's a really good idea that guy had about making up a sinking kit...put it where it will pop free all by itself... just in case.

After seeing this, I think I'll be getting a handheld VHF backup to keep handy just in case.

Don't they have sensors of some sort that can sound an audible alarm when the water gets to a certain level in the bilge?

If this exists, could you guys make some recommendations on brand/model... I'm about to do some work on my boat and would like to include this feature.

tekmanx, I have my second bilge pump wired so I can turn it on manually or its set to run automatically with a float switch(its automatic all the time), I ran a second wire to connect with the pump feed wire that sounds an alarm behind the dash, you can wire a float switch alone to an alarm if you want it to be set at a different height of water
