Attwood offers the most complete selection of pumps and blowers

A complete selection of pumps and blowers are available for fishing boats, runabouts, cruisers, yachts, and commercial boats.All are tested and approved as standard equipment by leading boat manufacturers.

Bilge and Aerator Pumps

The Heavy-Duty 1700 and 2000 bilge pumps have established Attwood into the commercial market with value-loaded industrial-duty features and performance.

The Tsunami series of cartridge style bilge and aerator pumps are engineered for higher performance in the most service friendly design imaginable. Their cartridge style allows quick and easy replacement without the need to remove hoses or mounting bases.

Automatic Bilge Pumps

All boats over 20′ long with sleeping accommodations (excluding fold-out cockpit seats) should use automatic bilge pump systems. Non-automatic pumps drawing 12-amps or less can easily convert to automatic operation with an Attwood Automatic Float Switch (part number 4201 or 4202). Their Sahara Series automatic pumps are available in 500, 750 and 1100 gph capacity models. Bilge pumps are designed to exhaust standing water only. They are not intended to prevent rapid accumulation of on-board water due to rough weather, hull damage, and/or other unsafe navigational conditions.

Note: Bilge and aerator pumps must be lower than the source of water for priming.
