We just got 6 inches of rain in a 24 hour period and my sump pump was cranking away for three days with full 1 1/2 pvc piping. It was a huge amount of water coming from my basement. It made me think..If I had some major leak on the boat like hitting a container, wouldn’t it be great to have a half horsepower 110 pump running off the generator instead of a 4000 gal/hr 12 volt little pump to keep me floating?
These sump pumps are cheap, easy to plumb and can lift a good amount of water 15 feet. I was thinking of having one as backup to my two normally sized 12 volts bilge pumps.
Am I missing anything in that logic?
