Rule 360 GPH Standard Bilge Pump Kit w/Float Switch - 12V

The Rule 360 GPH Standard Bilge Pump Kit with Float Switch – 12V is the hardworking automatic drainage solution every serious boater needs below deck. Whether you're running a center console, cabin cruiser, or working vessel, water intrusion happens—rain, wake splash, or equipment washdown inevitably finds its way into the bilge. This kit handles that challenge silently and reliably, pumping 360 gallons per hour (1,362 liters per hour) of unwanted water overboard before it threatens your boat's integrity or your peace of mind.

Built for saltwater and freshwater environments alike, the Rule 360 pump features a completely submersible design with a durable stainless steel shaft that resists corrosion from years of exposure. The integrated mercury-free float switch activates automatically when water level rises, eliminating the need for manual switching and ensuring you're protected even when away from the helm. The ignition-protected motor meets Coast Guard and ABYC standards, while high-abrasion, tin-coated silicone components handle sediment and debris without clogging. The compact 12V electrical draw makes it ideal for cruising boats relying on alternator charging or auxiliary battery banks.

This Rule kit suits boats from 20 to 35 feet and pairs well with existing 12V DC electrical systems found on most recreational and commercial vessels. Installation requires basic plumbing—discharge through a through-hull fitting or existing scupper—and a straightforward 12V battery connection. Long-term boaters appreciate Rule's proven reliability; this pump has logged countless hours on working boats, charter vessels, and weekend cruisers. For anyone serious about vessel safety and wanting automatic, unattended bilge protection for sale or upgrade, the Rule 360 delivers proven performance at a fair price.
