One of my funniest moments in the last year was when I walked back into
a marina office and said "Oh, I forgot what I was here for. Heck, I
would forget my own name if it wasn't written on my underwear."
I heard later that two of the girls started giggling and said "he

Just to be clear.

If you meant Whale Gulpher then +1 for those. When I rebuilt
the mast step I put the remote pickup at the low spot and
an electronic switch. Good so far.

The C&C Landfall 38 came from the factory with two mid-ship deck drains that

During the winter, these two midship deck drains can accumulate a lot of water

On my Viking, I installed 2 whale gusher pumps in a locker and just ran house
down into the bilge. I did instal one flart switch in the sump to run one of
the pumps automatically. I really liked that setup. The pumps stayed high and
dry and there was less stuff in the bilge.

Edd: I had the same problem with bilge pump float switches failing. It turned
out to be the old un-tinned wire. Every time I replaced a switch, it would
work for awhile until the un-tinned wires got corroded near the most recent
splice. Since I changed out this wiring to good tinned wire, I

Since purchasing this Enterprise about 10 years ago, I’ve gone through several
automatic bilge pumps. Either the motor fails, never stops running or the float
switch gets jammed. I’ve tried both the float switch and the automatic
versions.
I liked the idea of an automatic, especially if you ha

Please note, the smaller Rule-Mate Pumps I've listed (the 500, the 750 and
the 1100) are NOT the type that does a test run every few minutes.
The larger Rule-Mates, the Electromechanical Rule Mate I series, are
available in 1500 & 2000 sizes but won't fit to the bottom of the bilge in
the C&C 37/4
One additional thing that I do; remove my bilge pump and switch to above
the floor boards during winter storage and flush the pump with a 50/50 mix
of ethylene gycol and water and leave the bottom end of the pump submerged
in the same mix...I think that helps to keep the pump in good shape for

Hi Josh,
I take it this is what you use? - Yes, seems to work well.
Do you ever find that it runs non-stop? - Occasionally, I don't leave it on
when I'm not on the boat. I am considering installing a 2nd larger pump
higher up with a separate run of discharge hose with a float switch I can
leave
Ken,
I took a look. I take it this is what you use? Do you ever find that it
runs non-stop? Does it ever get submerged, particularly the wires? Do you
recall if the wires were tinned?
