Overview
Compact automatic submersible bilge pump with an integrated float switch. It starts when bilge water rises and stops after the level falls, while a manual test button allows the pump and level switch to be checked without flooding the compartment.

Applications and compatibility
- Suitable for bilges in RIBs, tenders, day boats, fishing boats, small motorboats and yachts with a 12V electrical system.
- Use with 19mm internal-diameter smooth-bore bilge hose and a suitable above-waterline discharge fitting.
- The 600GPH rating is a nominal open-flow figure; lift height, hose length, bends and restrictions reduce delivered flow.
- Not intended as the vessel's only emergency dewatering system or for pumping fuel, oil, sewage or flammable liquids.
Installation, use and package contents
- Secure the strainer at the lowest practical point of the bilge, with enough access for testing and cleaning.
- Wire directly to a protected 12V supply using marine-grade cable and a 4A fuse, following the supplied wiring instructions.
- Route the 19mm hose continuously upward, avoid sharp bends and fit an anti-siphon loop where the outlet could become submerged.
- Test the automatic switch and manual test button regularly; clean debris from the strainer and never run the pump dry for extended periods.
- Included: one automatic pump with integrated float switch and snap-on strainer base. Hose, skin fitting, cable, switch panel and installation hardware are not included unless expressly shown.
Frequently asked questions
Q1. Does this pump need a separate float switch?
No. The automatic float switch is integrated into the pump housing.
Q2. What hose size should I use?
Use a 19mm (3/4in) internal-diameter bilge hose and minimise restrictions to preserve flow.
Q3. Can it run when the boat is unattended?
The automatic switch can operate the pump when water rises, but the circuit, battery condition and discharge route must be correctly installed and inspected.
Q4. Is 600GPH the actual flow in every installation?
No. It is the nominal rating; vertical lift, hose length, bends and fittings reduce real-world output.
