The Attwood Sahara Mk2 Automatic Bilge Pump is engineered to provide reliable and efficient water removal for both freshwater and saltwater applications. Its innovative design incorporates several key features to enhance performance and ease of use:
- Patented X-Air™ Impeller: Prevents air locking by ejecting trapped air from the pump and piping, ensuring the pump operates without running dry and reducing the risk of burnout.
- Flexible Outlets: The 90° rotatable elbow outlet allows for installation in any orientation, providing full 360° flexibility to suit various mounting requirements.
- Single-Hand Pump Cartridge Release: Facilitates easy maintenance by enabling the pump cartridge to be serviced with one hand, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- External Mounting Feet: Simplify installation and maintenance by eliminating the need to remove the basket, reducing time and effort.
- Universal Mounting Pattern: Compatible with a seven-pump mounting hole pattern, allowing for straightforward replacement of existing bilge pumps without additional drilling.
- SteadySwitch™ Buoyancy Control: Reduces cycling and extends the pump's lifespan by optimizing pumping cycles, conserving battery power.
- Improved Motor Cooling: Enhanced design prevents overheating, mitigating potential failures such as blown fuses or leaks.
