Keep Your Boat Running Smoothly With Bilge Pumps

Designed to keep your boat's lowest areas dry and clear of water, bilge pumps are often a sailor's first line of defense against emergencies. Water can enter your vessel through any number of means, such as an errant wave or splash, forgetting to plug a drain, or if you have a wooden boat, simply soaking through the hull. Bilge pumps remove this water before it accumulates to an unsafe level, helping to keep your ship operating as intended. In the case of an emergency situation, bilge pumps can also pump water out to provide a few critical minutes to put on life jackets and find other boating emergency equipment, like signal flares. Be sure to have at least one backup bilge pump in case your main pump is fouled. A hand bilge pump provides you with an efficient way to move water if battery or electrical issues arise during your trip.
