I have a question.

The boat sits in the water all the time or just the weekend?

Do you have shore power with a charger so that the bilge pumps don't kill the battery and it sinks at the dock?

Just a thought. Forget about those float switch type bilge pumps and get an auto sensing pump. . . . . Something in the fifteen hundred gph range


seriously though, those float switches are worthless go auto

This does not guarantee crap...IMO and recent experience.

No..... We may give you some crap over here, but you start posting on that site and they'll ban you right after they get your IP and get you put on the perv registry!

Now find a site that pays you to put your clothes back ON, then you're onto something.

To each his own.

I Have done my fair share of stupid purchases in my lifetime also, many of them being boats.
I have spent most of my money on women, boats and whiskey......the rest, I wasted.

so what happens when the bilge pump gets plugged up with rotted wood particles and debris then blows the fuse or burns up the pump itself ???

Probably a 21 year old bilge pump(s) at that to.

So you have a boat that probably has rot and mechanical issues(at least bellows), is taking on water and has an inoperative bilge pump and you can't take it out of the water. It's insured. You prevented it from sinking?
