This Shurflo bilge pump is rated at 1500 GPH on 12V DC and draws 8A, with a 1-1/8 inch outlet. It is a submersible nylon pump with a built-in motor cooling system aimed at efficient running and long life. It mounts on a swivel base and comes with a 6 ft tinned wire assembly. It is ignition protected to ISO 8849 and carries a 3 year warranty.
Our take
The 8A draw against a 1500 GPH rating shows what this pump asks of a 12V system. The motor cooling system is aimed at long life, and ignition protection to ISO 8849 is on the spec list, backed by a 3 year warranty.
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.
