[C320-list] Bilge pump replacement

[Jerry Taylor]

Hi Andy,

I recently had the same problem on my 2008, Mark II, #1128.  The replacement 
would not fit, so I went to a Rule 1100 gph, model 492025.  It cycles on 
every 2.5 minutes which is annoying, especially for light sleepers.  I got 
an Attwood Sahara 1100 gph, model 3305364 from West Marine which barely fits 
between the keel bolts.  I kept the Rule as a back up.  I recently got into 
a cycling problem and just ordered a check valve from WM.  I know, they are 
a no-no, but I will take my chances.  Another option on your replacement may 
be to add a piece of 1/2" Starboard material to shim or raise the pump up. 
The bolts are not always square and there might be just enough room!  It 
might work, but I did not want another half inch of water in the bilge.

Jerry

Hello everyone

I am replacing a rule 1100 gph in my 2006 320.  However, the new rule pump 
is just a little larger and the plumbing does not fit between the keel bolts 
in the deep bilge.

I am wondering what pump will fit before I buy a 2nd replacement.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Andy
