Re: Stus-List Thoughts on bilge pumps and check valves

Dennis, That's the check valve I also use and recommend. It is a flap style instead of a duck bill style. It seals better against leak by and seems to open wide enough so as to not obstruct flow. I believe it would allow the passage of some "trash" as well. I caution anyone considering your su

Re: Stus-List I am so done with bilge pumps...

As for check valves they are the only way to prevent back flow. Yes they can clog, yes they can minimize pump flow. I think the best option is to have 2 pumps: -a low flow, positive displacement pump, with a small-ish suction hose and suction check valve installed as close to the raw end of the

I don’t like check valves in a bilge pump system because they are prone to blockage and leakage. Just put a high point in the discharge line (before the point of overboard discharge such that minimal water back flows when the bilge pump shuts off. Bob Bob Boyer s/v Rainy Days C&C Landfall 38

That’s a good question.There are charts online for 3% voltage drop based on the needed amperage and total length.Note that the length is the total wire length, not the commonly mistaken duplex/triplex length (i.e. not the distance from source to device). For an automatic bilge set up wi
