Hi
Looking at a northshore 27, it has a very shallow bilge and I would like to put an automatic electric bilge pump. Maybe there is another solution for shallow bilges other than a normal pump.
Thanks in advance.

Best bet is a Water Witch switch mated to the smallest rule pump.
www.whitworths.com.au/swch-waterwitch-mini

The switch is expensive but you will only buy one. They can be mounted very low. Smallest rule so it pumps fairly slow in an auto set up. Have a larger rule wired in manually for dumping large amounts of water.

thanks rumblefish and Ramona, looks like the water witch will go nicely with the whale super sub! should fit nicely in the northshore's shallow bilge
