| Tips from the experts | Bilge pump installation | • | Keep discharge hoses as short as possible to reduce resistance and increase pump performance.
| • | Use smooth bore hoses. The ribbed bore of corrugated hoses reduces flow capacity and pump performance.
| • | Use a vented loop if the thru‑hull can be submerged, especially on sailboats where heel might immerse the fitting even if it is well above the waterline when floating on an even keel.
| • | Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wire sizes and a 3% voltage drop especially on pumps that draw 10, 15 amps or more.
| • | Use waterproof butt connectors for any wiring connections in the bilge area to keep water out and avoid corrosion.
