Does running a bilge pump dry for an hour or so do significant damage? I didn’t realize I left mine on while dry. 2 hours tops. I do have a spare bilge in the boat for just in case, but wondering if anyone had some experience in the matter.

I always carry an extra 1000 gal pump on board rigged with 12’ hose and 12’ cord with battery clips. Use as a back up plus pump water in and out of bait tank! Bought three last week at Harbor freight for $17 each.

Yea that’s always a good idea, I keep a spare too!

Not as entertaining, for the people watching at the ramp:wink:
Thank goodness it wouldn’t be much of a show…when I first got the boat last Dec. I launched it and tied to the peir at the GCR to re-work the trailer lights, well I found out and hour and half later after putting the boat back on the trailer and pulling out that I never put the plug in!! Took about 15 min to drain even with the bilge on! Almost a tough lesson learned! (At least I know she wont sink like that)
