Attwood Sahara MK2 S800 Bilge Pump 800 GPH - 12V - Automatic

The Attwood Sahara MK2 S800 Bilge Pump 800 GPH in 12V automatic configuration is purpose-built to prevent water accumulation in bilge spaces aboard vessels of all sizes. Operating at 800 gallons per hour, this automatic bilge pump removes water faster than manual alternatives and engages without operator intervention when water level rises, making it essential safety equipment for overnight cruising, offshore runs, and any boating scenario where rapid bilge water management is critical.

Built with permanent magnet motors, stainless steel shafts, and steel-reinforced seals, the Sahara MK2 delivers extended service life in salt air and freshwater environments. The patented X-Air impeller is the standout feature—it actively ejects trapped air from both the pump housing and discharge piping, eliminating airlock conditions that disable conventional bilge pumps. This means the pump maintains consistent priming and flow rate even after sitting idle or after water level drops temporarily. The 12V electrical requirement matches standard marine electrical systems found on most recreational and commercial vessels.

This automatic bilge pump is ideal for center console fishing boats, cruising sailboats, trawlers, and any vessel prone to minor seepage or occasional water intrusion. Weekend anglers value the automatic operation—no need to manually switch pumps on when unexpected weather or rough seas push water into the bilge. Serious offshore operators depend on the 800 GPH capacity as a reliable secondary pump or primary defense against gradual leakage during long passages. The cool-running design means it operates safely without risk of overheating during extended runtime.
