What is a 1000 GPH automatic bilge pump?

A 1000 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) automatic bilge pump is a marine pump designed to remove up to 1000 gallons of water per hour from a boat's bilge. The "automatic" feature means it includes a built-in float switch that detects rising water levels and activates the pump without manual intervention, then shuts off when the water is removed.

How do I install this 12V submersible bilge pump?

Installation is straightforward thanks to its snap-on strainer base. Mount the pump in the lowest part of your bilge, connect the 12V DC power supply (typically to a fused circuit in your boat's electrical system), and attach the outlet hose to a through-hull fitting. Always ensure proper wiring and sealing to prevent leaks. A manual test button is often included for verification.

Is this bilge pump ignition protected?
