You got it.

I just hate when I see too many people falling into the game of paying way too much for things because they say "marine". Like for this subject of wiring...if you went to say West Marine or your local Marina store to the wiring rack you'll have sticker shock on the tinned wire. When if you were doing a large job and needed allot of tinned copper you could get it much cheaper at an electric supply place without the word marine but the same product.

Like people with say a Toyota that go to the dealer to buy a OEM toyota headlamp for $20 instead of going to NAPA and getting it for $6.

I think you know that's what I'm trying to say...........


Back to Sarg Nuts job.

Personally, on my boat I have 2 pumps and tend to change them out after about 5 years before they fail. For the money they do allot of work that is expected. Presently I have the ones that are pump and switch in one unit. Not the computerized ones that go on every 3 minutes automatically I hated those, but the ones with and interal float. But still sometimes they hang up too.
