We started out using the Attwood V-series electric bilge pumps. The Attwood V1250's are no longer manufactured. We are now using Attwood Tsunami T1200 electric bilge pumps for solo bilge pump kits. When an order is placed, you'll receive a confirmation email stating that the order was received and is being processed (emails are sent out within 48 hours of order, usually within 12 hours).
The Attwood Tsunami T-series are very good electric bilge pumps with a corrosion resistant body with watertight seals and waterproof tinned wiring for better performance. The T-series has an improved permanent magnet motor with composite brushes and lubricated bearings. It has a double filter base that resists clogging. The core cartridge is quickly removed by depressing a tab and twisting the unit for easy cleaning, maintenance, and replacement. The T1200 motor draws only 3.5 amps to run the pump which is a low amperage for 1200 gallons per hour pump. The pump has a high impact polyester impeller and a stainless steel shaft. The water cooled motor housing reduces heat buildup to extend motor life. The Tsunami pumps have proven to be very smooth and quiet running pumps. The Tsunami pumps are compact units, so it fits into tight spaces. The T1200 is 3.25" dia x 4.5" high, it requires a 1.125" inside diameter bilge hose, and the T500 is 2.875" dia x 3.75" high, it requires a 0.75" inside diameter bilge hose.
