What to Consider When Choosing
- Corrosion-resistant materials, such as marine-grade plastics or stainless steel, are vital for durability :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
- Flow rate (GPH) must match vessel size—smaller boats might need 500 GPH, while larger vessels might require up to 3,500+ GPH :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
- Float switch automation offers hands-off protection by activating when water levels rise :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use manual or automatic bilge pumps?
Manual pumps are great as backups or for emergencies. Automatic pumps with float switches are perfect for continuous water removal.
How important is GPH capacity?
Very important—capacity must align with your boat size. Larger boats benefit from dual systems: a primary pump and a higher-capacity backup.
What if the power fails?
Always have a manual or backup pump available. Never rely solely on automated electric systems.
