The Proline is a 500 gph bilge pump from Johnson Pump. Its water-cooled motor gives greater torque with less power consumption, and the housing is tough resin that resists shock, detergents, fuel and corrosives. The impeller is described as rugged, and the pump mounts on a quick-release bracket. It stands 4 3/8 inches high and carries a 3 year warranty.
Our take
The resin housing resists shock, detergents, fuel and corrosives, so the body is made to tolerate fuel and detergent contact. At 500 gph, its rated flow is the number to compare against the water you expect to move, with a motor that draws less power for its torque.
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.
