Hi everyone, I am tight for space in the bilge of my Triton24 and want to install a standalone electric pump with extraction hose auto switch running into the the bilge. I already have a manual pump installed.
Does anyone have any suggestions much appreciated.

One of these: www.whitworths.com.au/rule-mate-12v-automatic-bilge-pump-500-gph
or www.whitworths.com.au/tmc-12v-auto-eye-automatic-bilge-pump-500-gph or a larger size. Mine had an elbow fitting in the kit, to send the water vertically out of the bilge, as the bilge sump was quite narrow. I like them because they are an integrated unit - the sensor as well as the pump.

+1, I have found that all small submersible pumps have a relatively short lifespan, some better than others but it will fail at some point, and when it does just grab another, they aren't that dear.
