IMHO:
There are two kinds of bilge pumps.
1 - routine: These get the standard daily leaks. Capacity is not important,
being able to be mounted low down and being reliable is. For a modern
fiberglass boat, you have an issue if even the smallest pump is running all
the time at the dock or underway in calm weather. None of my pumps are
automatic and I have no issue with water over a 2-3 week period.
2 - emergency - Anything but the very largest pumps you can fit are not
going to keep up with even one thru-hull and none of them will sit low
enough to be good for routine use. The one time a plumbing malfunction* had
water almost to the bunks at 0100 I can tell you my big hand pump was doing
more than BOTH of my 500 GPH electrical pumps. Motivation is key here :)
Also bought a float for a bilge alarm after that ;)

* When installing a new engine, I managed to hit the loop I had in a pump
outlet and move it from a couple inches above the static water line to an
inch lower. It made a dandy siphon with everyone and all the gear aboard
when it did not unloaded at the dock.

I just finished replacing a rule pump in the deep bilge on my 37/40+ with a
Whale Gulper and a water witch switch. I have a Rule 800 gah in another
spot. The Rule is way weak by comparison. I mounted the whale gulper
somewhat remotely. I feel as though, despite it being rated at 300 gph that
is much more effective than any Rule pump I've ever owned.
Just my $ .02 worth...

Joe,
800gph seems plenty. It will rid your bilge of pesky water seepage in
no time. If you have a serious hull breach, a much larger pump will
be required,

Subject: Stus-List CC 38 Bilge Pump
Hey All
I need to replace the automatic electric bilge pump. Currently the
boat has a rule 800gph on a float switch. I feel this is woefully
inadequate but am struggling with finding the space in the bilge for
something larger not to mention the fact that the thru hull to go
overboard will accept 3/4" hose.
What do you guys use?
Thanks for any help
Joe
