attwood unisex adult Bilge boating tools, Unspecified

This was an exact replacement switch so it fit perfectly, works as it should. The original was 16yrs old and was pretty mucked up with algae. Hope to get the same durability from this one. I added the correct waterproof electrical connector to the end of the wires provided in the kit so it would connect to my boat's wire harness rather than cutting and splicing.

Replaced the exact same model with this one and works as intended. Screw holes and everything fit so no additional holes in my boat

Direct, identical replacement for the one in my boat ('02 Four Winns Horizon 190) that stopped working......I kinda expected it to be a discontinued part and I'd have to drill new holes to mount a different model switch....But fortunately that wasn't the case....

I couldn’t find the exact part number so I had to guess. If anyone else has an old model 420f this one is the same exact size.

IMO there is no such thing as a totally reliable marine bilge pump float switch but this switch is a cut above the rest. The marine environment [wet,damp,corrosive] and conditions between and during use [pounding, vibration,temperature variations etc.] pose a challenge for any mechanical device. The poor old float switch ends up living in or under filthy, oily water, with everything from leaves, sand and rusting fishhooks for companions. Add to that our tendency to set it and forget it until it fails which does not help it either.And when it does fail the consequences are potentially serious. A swamped boat [if it fails to come on] or a dead battery [if it fails to shut off]. I like the Attwood because the float body is fully encased inside the cover, so items won't fall on the float and prevent it from moving freely. It also has a set of grills on either side to allow water to move into the float chamber but prevents larger debris like leaves and twigs from sloshing into contact with the float and interfering with its ability to turn on or off. I also like the manual switch on the side which lets you test the functioning of the switch and the bilge pump each time you use the boat.I also like the fact that Attwood has left the mounting hole structure the same over a long period of time so that when the time does come to replace the switch you won't have to make a new mounting bracket for it. Take this switch out of the bilge as part of your winter maintenance to prevent it from becoming encased in ice which may be in the bilge over winter. Clean it at the same time. Make sure to put a quality heat shrink tube on all the electrical connections and use marine grade connectors for long trouble free life.

Thanks

Identical to the one that I replaced. Easy to install. Works well.

This was the exact replacement for my bilge pump ( Atwood V500) . Didn't even have to remove the pump! It coupled right to my pump. It was easy to install, the price was good and shipping cost was reasonable.
