The Shurflo 358-010-10 is a 12 volt nylon bilge pump rated at 2000 GPH. It has a built-in motor cooling system and a swivel base that eases mounting. The outlet port is 1-1/8 inches, the unit measures 7.2 inches long by 6 inches wide, and it comes with a 6 ft tinned wire assembly. It is ignition protected to ISO 8849 and carries a 3 year warranty.

Our take

The 1-1/8 inch outlet port decides which discharge hose and fittings you need, so match it to your existing run. The 2000 GPH rating and ISO 8849 ignition protection are the headline figures, and the swivel baseplate is there to ease installation.

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.
