I've used one for over 5 years without any trouble at all and its still going strong, so when I needed another one I didn't hesitate to buy another exactly the same. Its perfect for automatic bilge draining using a sensor instead of a float switch makes it far more reliable. its narrow construction means it can fit into tight spaces which was ideal for my needs..

This pump is very efficient for it's size and seems to be well made. It has however, to my mind, been designed for yachts and 'V' bottomed boats and is just not up to the job on my narrow boat. If the water's deep enough, it will move a lot of water very quickly and would virtually empty a 'V' shaped hull of water. But on my narrow boat, which is flat bottomed, it stops pumping with in excess of an inch of water still rolling around the bilge. It's not enough that the pick up is in the water, it will only pump when the impeller is submerged and consequently is no better or possibly even worse than many vertical pumps. Unfortunately no mention of this incompatibility with flat bottomed boats is made in the blurb. Very disappointed with mine.

I bought and fitted two of these small pumps because the two that came with my boat had both packed up. I have had to replace one of them once before. One of the most frustrating things about them is that they switch on when covered with water but they do not always suck. So the motor is whirring away but the water remains over them. Other times they work. The original pumps were installed by Ribcraft, a professional boat building company, and so I do not believe it is my poor installation that causes this problem.

This pump promises a lot but the reality is very different. It leaves at least 1 inch of water in the boat, and can pump a maximum of only about 1 metre head. The plastic cradle is also very poor quality and could easily be cracked and broken. I will now buy a conventional bilge pump and stick with a separate float switch, which is what I had before and install the Whale Supersub pump as a back up. I wish I had not bought the Whale Supersub Pump and I recommend anyone else doesn't buy it.

The pump was well priced and well built. however i wanted to change my old pump for one that would pump drier as the bilge is fairly flat so 1" deep of water. purchased this unit s it claimed to pump down to 9mm. once it gets a suction it is quite effective but due to the raised pump it will not get a suction until there is abour 1 1/2" waterso already a bit deep and little better than the nomal whale vertical pump it replaced. that said if you have no pump this would be a good unit to instal - just wouldnt recommend it as an improvement
