Default Re: Seacraft sinks off Martha's Vineyard

I am in the same business. The Rule pumps this year are horrible. I have about 10 or so that I will be sending in with nicely worded letter. I have moved a few of my boats to the johnson pumps. They seem to be doing better.
I hadn't had any luck with bilge pumps this season as I was on my 3rd pump of the season. I found my pump from last year dead this spring. I installed a RULE pump with a electronic float switch (larger capacity too), and it killed both of my batteries in about 2-3 weeks. It turn on randomly even when there was no water and just run for a few minutes before shutting off. I replaced the RULE with another brand with a mechanical float switch and it worked great. Until that one mysteriously died 3 weeks later the day I sank. Prior to sinking we had pulled the pump to troubleshoot it and took it apart....there was no debris or damage(looked brand new). I had two other buddies with RULE electronic switch pumps that also killed their batteries or failed this year. Its amazing to me that these companies can get away with putting such crap out.
