I’ll make one more comment, then I’ll shut up:smiley:

I have a 1100.
210 Scout, one 1100 gph pump is not really enough pump for a 21’ boat. Especially not offshore. A Rule 2000 or 3000 with the 1100 backing it up would be a much better choice. When things go to heck, it can go to heck in a hurry out there. No offshore boat should have just 1 pump. Not if I’m going offshore in it anyway. And a couple of buckets.

Dont disagree with multiple pumps but legally in my field i will always use fuses of the correct rating

Larry,
Thanks, I agree, the 1100 came from scout factory installed so I just bought a new one to install. I may look into a bigger pump. I am trying to figure out the fuse situation first. Thanks

I disagree with quite a few things that Pascoe says and this is one of them. If the circuit protection is done correctly and per ABYC, there is very little chance of it failure causing a critical component like a bilge pump to not run. FYI, always use a fuse (spade type) in this application instead of a circuit breaker as they are much more reliable. It would be much more prudent to advise having redundant bilge systems instead of unfused circuit in a bilge area where fuel and its vapors are very likely to accumulate.
