Review: Dependable little workhorse! - Compact but moves ALOT of water quickly. Great addition to my 16' Boston Whaler!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable little workhorse!
*by M***M on September 6, 2026*

Compact but moves ALOT of water quickly. Great addition to my 16' Boston Whaler!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for a failed bilge pump.
*by C***3 on July 27, 2026*

Perfect replacement for an older Atwood 500 gph pump. The pump base was different from the older model and removal from the bilge was not easy as space there beside the battery was cramped. Pump works fine though once we got it installed.

### ⭐ Don't buy, unreliable, unacceptable for safety equipment
*by S***A on August 29, 2026*

Horrible. Failed after first trip. Blew multiple fuses. Pump won't start moving unless the impeller is manually spun. Wiring on boat is good. Bench tested with same results so it's getting full amperage necessary to start.
