Many boat manufacturers install Rule submersible pumps because they offer good performance at a great price. Their motors feature stainless steel shafts, water-cooling and a vibration-free centrifugal impeller that won’t burn out if it runs dry. Each requires a panel switch for manual operation or a float switch for automatic operation.

If keeping water outside the boat is the first rule of common-sense boating, the second must be having a high water bilge alarm installed for those times rule number one are broken.  When it comes to dealing with leaks quick detection is the key, meaning the early warning provided by a bilge alarm can add valuable minutes to handle flooding situations. It means that extra time to find the leak (while it’s still above incoming water), put on lifejackets, bring additional pumps online, send out that last-ditch distress signal. Or it hopefully give marina personnel enough warning to keep your boat from sinking while at the dock.

Installation of a bilge alarm is a straight-forward affair that’s easily within the ability of most boaters.  They can be installed as a standalone system (i.e. an alarm and dedicated float switch), as an add-on to an existing primary or backup bilge pump and automatic float switch.  My preference is to have a dedicated float switch separate from the bilge pump, that way the bilge alarm will sound even if the automatic float switch for the pump fails.  Bilge alarms can also operate both audible and visual alarms (sirens, strobes, etc.) the goal being to get attention, whether tied at the dock or roaring along at full speed.
