-
Dimensions: 3 3/16"H x 1 5/8"W x 2 11/16"H
By automatically activating your pump only when real bilge water is present, the S3 reduces wear and energy use while protecting your vessel from flooding. The proprietary sensing minimizes nuisance cycling caused by splashes or foam, and sealed electronics resist corrosion and chemical exposure in harsh marine environments. With flexible mounting and broad compatibility, installation is straightforward and future-proof for a wide range of boats and pumps.
