Attwood Sahara MK2 S800 Bilge Pump 800 GPH - 24V - Automatic

The Attwood Sahara MK2 S800 Bilge Pump 800 GPH - 24V - Automatic is a marine-grade automatic bilge pump engineered to remove standing water from vessel bilges without manual intervention. Built for extended service life, this 24-volt pump features a cool-running permanent magnet motor, stainless steel shaft, and steel-reinforced seals—the combination of materials critical for resisting corrosion in the salt-air marine environment. The Sahara MK2's defining innovation is its patented X-Air impeller design, which automatically ejects trapped air from the pump housing and pipework, eliminating air-lock failures that plague conventional automatic bilge pumps.

At 800 gallons per hour (GPH) displacement, the S800 provides effective dewatering capacity for mid-sized cruisers, center console fishing boats, and cabin cruisers where consistent bilge management prevents water accumulation during extended fishing trips or overnight docking. The automatic activation threshold means the pump triggers when water level rises, operating without user attention—a critical safety feature when vessels are unattended. Compact dimensions (4 x 2 x 8 inches) and 1.5-pound weight allow flexible mounting in confined bilge spaces. The 24-volt specification suits larger boats and commercial marine applications where 24V electrical systems are standard.

This pump is ideal for boat owners and charter operators who demand reliability in bilge water removal without daily monitoring. The X-Air air-lock elimination feature directly addresses a known failure point in automatic bilge pumps—air pockets that prevent priming and cause the pump to run dry. Attwood Marine has built its reputation on marine-specific engineering, and the Sahara MK2 reflects that focus on real-world operational demands.

For boats operating in demanding marine conditions—whether weekend fishing excursions or commercial service—automatic bilge pumps are essential safety equipment. The Sahara MK2 S800's combination of air-lock elimination, stainless steel construction, and proven pump design makes it a reliable choice for vessel operators who need consistent dewatering performance and long service intervals between maintenance.
