SEAFLO 12V 1100GPH Automatic Bilge Pump 06 Series Float Switch

Integrated automatic bilge pump for 12V boats

A 12V submersible bilge pump combining an 1100GPH pump and internal float switch in one compact unit. It activates as water rises, removing the need for a separate external float switch and making it practical in smaller pump wells.

Technical specifications

Applications and compatibility

• For automatic bilge drainage on 12V motorboats, sailing yachts, RIBs, fishing boats and small workboats.
• Useful when space favours a combined pump and float switch rather than separate components.
• Check capacity against the vessel drainage plan, expected ingress and actual discharge head.
• The float must move freely; oil, debris and sludge can impair any automatic bilge system and require regular cleaning.

Installation and package contents

• Mount level at the lowest accessible point with space for the internal float to move unobstructed.
• Use suitable smooth-bore hose, minimise bends and route the discharge to a safe above-waterline outlet.
• Wire through correctly rated circuit protection using marine-grade cable and follow the manufacturer diagram.
• Package contains one SEAFLO 06 Series automatic pump with integrated float, strainer/base and 1m leads. Hose and through-hull fittings are not stated as included.

Frequently asked questions

Does the pump include automatic water-level control?

Yes. A float switch is integrated into the housing.

Can it run from a 24V supply?

No. This version is designed for 12V DC.

Why is maximum current higher than rated current?

The circuit must accommodate startup and maximum-load conditions, so protection and cable sizing should use the manufacturer guidance.

How often should it be tested?

Test before launch and regularly during the season, and clean the strainer and float whenever debris is present.
