Available in listed 12V DC and 24V DC configurations, this automatic marine pump is intended for boat owners who need convenient bilge-water management.
Featuring a nominal flow rating of 1,100 gallons per hour (GPH), an ABS housing, and an integrated intake strainer, this pump is designed for suitable marine installations. The supplied product information describes automatic water-level sensing; confirm the sensing mechanism, activation levels, and electrical specifications for the selected model before ordering.
Select the correct voltage for your vessel and verify the pump dimensions, outlet size, current draw, discharge requirements, and package contents before installation.
Key Features
- 1100 GPH nominal flow rating: Designed to help remove bilge water from compatible boats. Actual flow depends on discharge height, hose diameter, routing, restrictions, and operating voltage.
- Automatic water-level sensing: Described as an automatic bilge pump intended to activate water removal when required. Confirm the sensing technology and operating water levels with the manufacturer.
- 12V DC and 24V DC options: Choose the voltage version compatible with your boat's electrical system. Confirm the specifications of the selected variant before connecting power.
- Submersible construction: Intended for installation in a suitable bilge compartment according to the manufacturer's mounting and operating instructions.
- ABS housing: The supplied product information identifies the housing material as ABS. Verify the exact material grade and environmental limitations before use.
- Integrated intake strainer: Helps limit larger debris entering the pump intake. Regular inspection and cleaning remain necessary.
- Marine bilge-water management: Designed for consideration in compatible bilge systems on suitable recreational boats and yachts.

How an Automatic Bilge Pump Works
An automatic bilge pump is designed to help remove accumulated water without requiring manual activation for every pumping cycle. This model is described as featuring automatic water-level sensing, but the exact sensing method and activation thresholds have not been confirmed in the supplied product information.
Before installation, confirm whether the automatic sensing system is integrated into the pump or requires a separate control component. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for wiring, testing, and maintenance.
Choosing the Correct 12V or 24V Bilge Pump
Select the version that matches your vessel's electrical system and the requirements of the intended circuit.
- 12V DC version: For a compatible 12V DC electrical system.
- 24V DC version: For a compatible 24V DC electrical system.
Do not connect a 12V pump to a 24V supply, or a 24V pump to a 12V supply, unless the manufacturer explicitly approves the configuration. Check current draw, wire sizing, fuse or circuit-breaker requirements, and applicable marine electrical installation instructions before use.
Flow Rate and Installation Considerations
The 1,100 GPH figure is the stated nominal flow rating, not a guarantee of installed performance. Actual flow may be affected by discharge height, hose length and diameter, bends, restrictions, and supply voltage.
Check the manufacturer's specifications for the outlet size, maximum discharge head, mounting position, and operating limits. Ensure that the discharge route and installation are appropriate for your vessel.
Maintenance and Safety
- Inspect the intake strainer regularly and remove debris according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Check wiring, electrical connections, and the automatic control system for damage or corrosion.
- Test automatic operation periodically using the manufacturer's recommended procedure.
- Confirm that the battery and electrical circuit are suitable for the selected voltage and current requirements.
- Check standby power consumption rather than assuming automatic sensing uses no power while idle.
- Do not assume continuous-duty suitability unless the manufacturer specifies the permitted duty cycle.
- Do not rely on a single bilge pump as the vessel's only flood-prevention measure.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, operation, and service.
Important: An automatic bilge pump is one component of a vessel's water-management system. Regular inspection and proper maintenance remain essential. Confirm the pump's specifications and installation suitability before relying on it in service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an automatic bilge pump used for?
An automatic bilge pump helps remove accumulated water from a suitable boat bilge. Its suitability depends on the vessel, expected water accumulation, pump capacity, installation layout, and electrical configuration.
Is this an 1100 GPH submersible bilge pump?
Yes. The supplied product information describes a submersible bilge pump with a nominal flow rating of 1,100 GPH. Actual flow depends on operating and installation conditions.
Is the pump available in 12V and 24V?
The product information lists 12V DC and 24V DC options. Confirm the selected variant and match its voltage rating to your vessel's electrical system.
How does the automatic sensing work?
The pump is described as having automatic water-level sensing. The exact sensing technology, activation level, stop level, and standby power consumption should be confirmed from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Will the pump drain my battery if left connected?
Battery consumption depends on standby draw, operating current, activation frequency, wiring, battery capacity, and operating conditions. Check the manufacturer's electrical specifications and maintain the vessel's battery system appropriately.
Is the ABS housing suitable for seawater?
The supplied product information identifies the housing as ABS, but the exact material grade and suitability for continuous saltwater exposure should be verified with the manufacturer.
Is a float switch included?
The supplied information describes automatic sensing but does not confirm the sensing mechanism or package contents. Check the technical documentation to determine whether sensing is integrated or requires a separate component.
What should I check before ordering?
Confirm the voltage, current draw, fuse requirements, rated flow, maximum discharge head, outlet and hose size, pump dimensions, automatic activation levels, and included accessories.
