Sturdy, Solid, seems like an cool concept
By Todd Henry
So I got the pump, no issues, shipping with PRIME was great. Shipped to Virginia Beach quickly.Took it out of the box, and was immediately impressed, it has a sturdy, heavy feel, but not overbearing and to where it seems like overkill.I hooked it up in my 2002 Trophy 1903FK center console with the three wires required to connect the pump. Continuous 12V positive, ACC 12V positive from the Trophy main panel for Bilge pump, and finally common ground. I secured the connections with water-tight/resistant fittings.I immediately noticed the pump had a "check cycle" like I expected from the literature. This click noise would automatically check for the presence of water on a 2.5 minute cycle or something, I could here the pump "click" with a faint click, so it seemed like it was working.I set the base with the screws provided in the location of the previous Johnson Pump, without issue, although after fully seating it, the pump still has a little wobble and I am concerned about the lifespan in rougher water where I may actually become airborne in my boat over rogue waves in the Atlantic. We will see, maybe I will disconnect the pump and try to tighten a little more before braving the ocean, and getting a broken base on the pump.The biggest problem I have noted thus far is that the pump didn't actually kick on automatically when water was inserted in the bilge area up to mid-line on the pump. My conclusion at first is that I didn't hook it up correctly somehow for it to cycle in an automated fashion, because when I initiate the bilge switch from the Trophy main panel the pump kicks on and pumps the water with so much force (It's a powerful pump) that the water exiting the boat clears the boat by 3-4 feet....I need to figure out if I hooked something up incorrectly using the existing trophy wiring, or do I need to run a new line fromsome location currently unknown...I'd give it five stars but I haven't got my boat in the water and had the automated bilge function kick on yet, so I will give an update when I have it all figured out.T
