Title: what bilge pump?
Post by: nathankaye on October 22, 2017, 04:51:10 pm
Ive been using this as a transfer pump to fil my trolley.

But it has now broken, possibly down to the hot water but not fully sure. Either way im in need of a new pump and wondered if people are using a better or quicker 12v option?
Cheers

Hot water at the heat your using it shouldn't affect it I wouldn't have thought.

Just ordered this to replace the broken one. Down side its an 8amp draw but upside it kicks out 2000g per hour

Which one is it  Nathan?
I’ve always used the same one as you, replaced it a couple of times andI keep a spare.
It fills my Gardiner back pack in under a minute.
You would love my set up wiring!  Illuminated switch and the 12v digital gauge you recommended.

I might take that idea on board as well when i rewire the new one. I had my switch  near my tank lid and periodically water leaks out from the lid and floods the switch.  So i do need more thought or care when fitting this one compared to "that will do attitude" that i had with the last one.
