Rule has some new "gold" pumps that seem to hold up well, they ought to, they cost enough. I have given up on the "sure bail"(sure fail) switches, they are a good concept, just the wires are not heavy duty enough, they won't hold the amperage of the bigger pumps, Rule has a 20 amp rated float switch that seems to hold up well. I have had good luck with the Johnson pumps, but their switches suck. The smaller Attwood pumps don't seem to be as good as the rules, I like the cartridge concept. It seems every year, they change the base so the last models won't work with the new pumps

when i buy a new bilge pump, i get the extended warrenty. usually not very much and i know the pump will fail so the replacement is free....

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

Mine has a rule 1500 in the back and was thinking of adding one more 1500, my question is; when my boat sits level on the trailer or even if i raise the bow 3-4" i still have water in the front cabin under the step down storage area. I can see the water sitting there and i put a wood dowel in the drain hole and have 1 1/2" of water. I oeder to drain that water i have to raise the bow at least 8-10". Any of you have this problem? That is why the previous owner had a manual pump installed in there. I'm i suppose to have water when boat is level? BTW, that water is fresh water when i cleaned my bilge.
