Key Features
1. Automatic Bilge Pump with Built-In Float Switch
The listed pump features an integrated magnetic float switch and automatic sensing system. According to the supplied product description, the system is designed to activate when the bilge water reaches its switching level and stop when the water level falls.
The integrated design is intended to provide automatic switching without a separate external float switch for the described function. Confirm the wiring configuration, switching levels, and installation requirements in the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Listed 1100 GPH Pumping Capacity
With a listed capacity of 1100 gallons per hour, this 12V marine bilge pump is designed to help remove accumulated water from compatible bilge compartments. Actual installed flow may vary with discharge height, hose length and diameter, bends, voltage, and plumbing restrictions.
Use the manufacturer's rated performance data to determine whether the pump is appropriate for your vessel's drainage requirements.
3. 12V DC Marine Electrical System
This pump is listed for compatible 12V DC marine electrical systems. Before installation, verify the operating current, wiring size, recommended fuse, connection polarity, and any other electrical requirements specified by the manufacturer.
4. UV-Stabilized ABS Thermoplastic Housing
The listed UV-stabilized ABS thermoplastic housing is designed for the intended pump application. Regularly inspect the housing and intake area for damage, debris, and signs of deterioration, particularly in bilge compartments exposed to moisture or saltwater.
5. Sealed Motor Chamber
The supplied specifications describe a sealed motor chamber and corrosion-resistant motor construction. Confirm the exact motor shaft material and protection specifications in the manufacturer's technical documentation. Do not assume an unlisted ingress protection rating.
6. Quick-Release Strainer Base
The quick-release strainer base provides access to the lower pump section for inspection and cleaning. Check the intake and strainer regularly for debris or obstructions that could reduce water flow. Follow the supplied instructions when removing and reinstalling the base.
7. Compact Submersible Design
The submersible configuration is intended for installation in a compatible bilge compartment. Check the actual pump dimensions, mounting arrangement, clearance, and maintenance access before replacing an existing pump.
Marine Applications
This SEAFLO 1100 GPH automatic bilge pump is listed for compatible marine bilge water removal applications, including:
- Bass boats
- Center console boats
- Pontoon boats
- Yachts and recreational motorboats
- Compatible utility and commercial vessels
These are general application examples, not guaranteed fitment for every vessel. Suitability depends on the bilge layout, required pumping capacity, electrical system, outlet connection, and installation arrangement.
Installation and Compatibility Guide
Before purchasing, check the following:
- Electrical voltage: Confirm that the vessel uses a compatible 12V DC system.
- Pump capacity: Verify the manufacturer's 1100 GPH rating and assess your vessel's drainage needs.
- Outlet connection: Confirm compatibility with the listed 19 mm (3/4 inch) outlet.
- Mounting dimensions: Compare the actual pump dimensions and mounting arrangement with the available space.
- Automatic switching: Confirm wiring and installation requirements for the integrated float switch.
- Electrical protection: Use the manufacturer's recommended fuse and wiring specifications.
- Maintenance access: Ensure the pump and strainer base can be inspected and cleaned.
When replacing an existing bilge pump, compare voltage, rated flow, outlet dimensions, mounting arrangement, electrical requirements, and automatic switching configuration. Do not select a replacement based on GPH alone.
Marine Safety Note
Follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions and applicable marine electrical safety requirements. Inspect the pump, intake, discharge hose, wiring, and automatic switching function regularly. A bilge pump is one part of an overall vessel water-management system and does not replace appropriate safety equipment or routine bilge inspections.
