The Attwood 5613-7 is a Tsunami Mk2 bilge pump rated at 1200 GPH on 24V. It is built around a patented X-Air impeller, which is meant to stop air locking in the pump and hose. The elbow outlet rotates, so the pump can be mounted at any angle through a full 360°. A single-hand cartridge release makes servicing easier, and the mounting feet sit on the outside, so the basket doesn't have to come off during installation.
Our take
The single-hand cartridge release is the useful detail here. If the pump sits low in a hard-to-reach part of the hull, you can pull the cartridge for service without needing both hands free.
From our buying guide
Rule and Johnson both say their bilge pumps are not intended for damage control. Flow falls as the discharge head rises, and the length of the hose, its bends and any check valve reduce it further.
Check before you buy:
- The maker's own table shows the flow at head, since how much a pump loses depends on the model.
- An automatic pump also has a manual switch, which ABYC's voluntary 2005 standard calls for.
- You'll fuse it to the maker's figure.
