The primary job of most bilge pumps on most boats is to clear nuisance water from the bilges (packing gland drips, spray from an errant wave, etc.). The one that came with your boat may be up to that task, but a bilge pump should also be able to provide crucial extra time if your boat is taking on water.

A bilge pump system is your primary insurance policy in avoiding unexpected sinking and losing your boat, all of its equipment and possibly the lives of everyone aboard.

One of the most prominent safety considerations is selecting a bilge system that’s well matched to your boat’s size and overall capacity. It’s always better to have a bilge pump surpass your everyday needs, rather than save a few dollars and take the chance of being ill-prepared when the chips are down.

Standard Marine bilge pumps are primarily designed for removing nuisance water from your boat that occurs incidentally after encountering waves, wakes and high winds. Worst case scenarios: Your pump should provide sufficient time to find and plug the leak, or allow everyone onboard to put on personal flotation devices if abandoning the vessel becomes necessary.

However, if you regularly travel offshore or in deeper, remote waters, consider equipping your boat with a secondary emergency bilge pump. Adding a second bilge pump that’s capable of moving several hundred gallons of water per minute could save your craft from sinking.

Needless to say, these types of pumps are considerably more expensive than basic bilge pumps, but can end up being well worth the initial investment.
