Installation is quick and easy, thanks to the included pre-wired harness and detailed instructions. Plus, the pump's compact design allows for versatile placement in tight spaces.

Do automatic bilge pumps drain battery?
Should the switch activate the pump but fail to shut it off, the pump motor's ongoing operation could deplete the boat's battery, thereby negating the assumed protection offered by the automatic bilge pump system.
