The Attwood Sahara MK2 800 is an automatic bilge pump designed to keep your boat dry, with an automatic switch that activates when water levels rise and shuts off once the water is removed. Its compact design suits tight installation spaces, and a pre-wired harness with detailed instructions makes installation quick.

Key Features

The Sahara MK2 is the only automatic Attwood bilge pump that eliminates air locks, thanks to a patented X-Air impeller that ejects trapped air from the pump and pipework. External mounting feet and an integrated outlet reduce installation time, and a universal mounting pattern makes it backwards compatible with many popular bilge pumps on the market for easy replacement.

The pump cartridge can be serviced from hard-to-reach areas using only one hand. Attwood's SteadySwitch reduces cycling and extends the life of the pump, and the design offers 40% better protection against water ingress and electrolysis compared to the MK1, and 2x better protection than the leading competitor.

Automatic Bilge Pumps and Battery Drain

If the float switch activates the pump but fails to shut it off, the motor's continued operation can drain the boat's battery, which would negate the protection the automatic system is meant to provide. Periodically checking the switch and battery condition helps avoid this.
