Innovative design prevents air locks for reliable operation in all conditions.
The Attwood Sahara Mk2 is an advanced automatic bilge pump designed to enhance reliability in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Featuring a patented X-Air Impeller, this pump effectively eliminates air locks, ensuring that it does not run dry and burn out. This innovative technology significantly improves the pump's performance and longevity, making it a dependable choice for boat owners.
With a flow rate of 800 gallons per hour, the Sahara Mk2 is equipped with flexible outlet options, including a 90-degree rotatable elbow outlet, allowing for versatile installation in various orientations. The single-hand pump cartridge release feature simplifies access to the pump, even in hard-to-reach areas, while the exterior mounting feet streamline installation processes for manufacturers.
The Sahara Mk2 also boasts a universal backwards compatible design, making it easy to replace existing top bilge pumps without extensive modifications. Its SteadySwitch buoyancy control minimizes cycling, effectively draining the bilge while conserving battery life. Additionally, improved motor cooling mechanisms prevent overheating, reducing the risk of failures such as blown fuses or leaks.
