You should not be relying on a single electric bilge pump in an emergency situation, no matter what it's rated for.


I'm not putting another pump on a float in my 16' aluminium boat.

If taking on water is that much of a concern there are better ways to be prepared.


I ALWAYS wear my PFD. I never did before I was in a boat that went down. That boat had a 600 gph pump that's now been upgraded to 2 3500 gph pumps, one on a float switch.

If the boat had that beforehand we would not have gone down.

Cleaned the debris out and checked the fuse. Has power, just not working. Sending son to Academy to get a new pump and replace.
