Automatic bilge pump switch

Post by Dug »

Hi all,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a more reliable switch than Rule. As I recall Captain Pat had strong opinions on this topic.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Senior? Junior? Mini?

I use the Junior. I have three pumps. I've had them for years and never had one go bad.

I have them also. Work great.

For the panel switch I use Blue Seas. The two under the engine are activated by the top switch, and the forward pump is on the lower switch.
