electric bilge pump kits

Post by keithcausey »

I am considering installing an electric bilge pump system in my 13' Recon. I do not want to collect the various parts and build it myself. I need advice on who sells the best kits at the best price. Any advice will be much appreciated. Keith

I don't know that they are the best (I still run without a pump), but Esquif's kit retails for $262.
Feel free to contact me if you need help.
Cheers,
Eli

You can probably do better than $262.

Check out this site: http://jtkcanoes.weebly.com/products.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I would definitely go with the T1200 pump.

get yourself a 500gpm tsunami pump from any sailboat shop, a small lead acid battery and charger, a switch that you seal up with aquaseal and you're all set.

Thank you for your helpful hints. I have decided to put one together from individual components after all to try to save a few bucks. I had looked at the various kits but thought they were a bit pricey. thanks again,
