The bilge on my centerboard boat is quite shallow and there is no room for a switch at the same level as the pump resulting in more than necessary residual water level if controled with a typical float switch. This pump requires careful placement to ensure proper start-stop operation. First unit ran dry and failed but was replaced under warranty. Works with a typical 3-wire bilge control panel. Pump runs dry sometimes when sailing heeled over so occassionally have to switch to manual. This freed up the existing rule-matic switch to be used as a high water sensor wired to a water witch BP500 alarm mounted topside in the cockpit. Wish I had a diaphragm pump for a really dry bilge but with the A/C running almost nonstop here in Florida, and draining condensate into the bilge, it's not a likely solution. -- Tim Rutherford 1981 C&C 36-1 KCB #244 Chamamé tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com Tampa, Florida On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 4:02 PM Matt Wolford via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Listers: New topic. 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.
