But if you run heavy gauge good quality marine wire then you won't have to deal with it again.  |

Sgt,
I the wiring looks like decent quality with no extra connections between pump and panel there is no reason to replace good wiring. No you don't "have" to use "marine" wiring either. That just adds another 50cents a foot on the job. Good quailty cooper control wire is fine.. Most important is when you butt connect fittings...and the pump you have is most likely butt connected in... shrink tube over the connections with good tubing that has sealing adhesive inside, it won't fail. And like Likwid said leave a loop, in the industry this is called a "service loop", most "professional" places fail to do this leaving the repair much harder.
Oh, and yes it is a good idea tl have to manual pump too just in case.

If you decide to not replace it, buy a spare and keep it on the boat, not in your garage. A new pump won't do you much good if youe need it and you're on the water while the pump is in the garage!

Probably best to wire in a second bilge pump for peace of mind.
....Nor does the spare do any good on the boat when you wake up in the morning and go down to the boat and it is under water.

Agreed Likwid,
My point being it doesn't have to say "Marine" this and "Marine" on it.

Well, more like "marine grade" which is tinned.
Same difference. |
