I too, like the Whale diaphragm pumps for sucking the last drop, and a centrifugal pump for serious water.
I did notice that you have to occasionally wipe the bottom, or sensing area of the electronic switches off, to remove film, or whatever, or they will get confused. But the Whale Pumps can run dry without ruining them. I did just buy one of the Johnson Pumps last year, I am sad to hear that those motors will also die in a few years. I thought they were a direct replacement for the Rule, but the output was off just a little bit.

I tried the water Witch and twice had it running way after shut down should have occurred. I don't trust them to turn off appropriately.

My boat came with a really nice diaphragm pump for the bilge, but it operates on a manual switch. I was going to change the switch and install a sensor in the bilge to make it automatic, but it occurs to me that having redundancy is a good idea for this application. Which pumps to people like for placement in the bilge? I picked up a water witch sensor, so I don't need an automatic pump. Thanks in advance for suggestions.
