Attwood Sahara MK2 500 12 V Bilge Pump

Product description:

The Attwood Sahara MK2 500 12 V bilge pump is a modern device designed for automatic water removal from bilges in floating units such as motorboats, yachts, or dinghies. Thanks to the built-in water level sensor, the pump starts automatically when the water reaches a certain level, ensuring safety and protection against flooding. The Sahara MK2 500 model features a compact design that allows easy installation even in hard-to-reach areas of the hull. The device is equipped with a threaded discharge outlet, enabling quick and tight connection of the outlet hose. The housing made of high-quality plastic resistant to corrosion and the effects of saltwater guarantees long service life even in demanding marine conditions. The pump is intended for operation in 12 V DC systems, making it compatible with most electrical systems used on recreational units. The Sahara MK2 500 works perfectly both as a main bilge pump and as a supporting device in larger drainage systems. The use of automation minimizes the need for manual operation, and the solid construction ensures reliable performance during long-term use.
