AIRTAK Bilge Pump for Boat DC12V 1500GPH Small Bilge Pump 12 Volt Electric Water Pump Low Noise 1500GPH-12V with switch set 1500GPH-12V with switch set ATN2BP-G1500-NCFS12 2

I was a bit skeptical when I made this purchase given the price and that it claimed to move a huge amount of water in a short period of time. I installed this pump as a back up pump after taking on water in a storm and not being able to quickly pump water out of the boat with the manufacturer installed pump. (Scary situation). As fate would have it after installing this pump I put my boat in and accidentally put the bilge plug on the live well drain when launching (I never did that one before LOL). Well... After leaving the launch ramp I heard the pump turn on and watched the water SHOOTING out of the through hull fitting. Not trickling SHOOTING! I highly recommend this pump.

did not install the pump directly to the pump, but I did wired it to use it as an emergency. I did had to use it as an emergency and it worked great. I have 3 pumps on my boat and all 3 died so I used this pump to empty out my boat from all the rain water. I'll look at what happened to my other pump and probable install this one as my main pump. do not pair it up with the hose Amazon suggest, the hose is too small.

This product ended up saving me and my friends life and my boat. We had a critical plug failure and took on a ton of water in our 14 foot boat. With a foot and a half of water inside and the engine not turning over this pump manage to empy it out and fight the incoming water enough so I could restart and get back to the dock safely.

After mounting in my bilge of my fiberglass boat, the motor unit at first would not stay clipped on the base-which the manufacturer calls the "filter". I had carefully positioned the outlet hose and clamp and even trimmed my hose back a bit where it was contacting the base too closely. However it still would not stay clipped on firmly. The plastic is just not thick and the clips do not have a firm spring action to them. I remedied the problem by very carefully slightly bending out the clips so they would clip in to the motor housing better. It worked --but in the harsh environment of a boat I will have to see if it stays put. The quality of the switch unit seems very good.

Jokes it up mounted in boat and low and behold the pump don’t work. Float works great Amazon did great delivery package was great. Pump sucks 1/4 turn on new battery nothing else.
