Attwood 1200 GPH Automatic Bilge Pump Plumbing Kit
This high-capacity plumbing bundle is the ultimate solution for large recreational boats and offshore vessels that require maximum water displacement and advanced protection. Featuring the powerhouse Attwood Sahara Mk2 S1200, this kit is specifically designed to handle the increased demands of hulls between 22 and 26 feet.
The Sahara Mk2 S1200 is equipped with the patented X-Air™ Impeller, which actively ejects trapped air bubbles to prevent air-locking and ensure the pump never runs dry. With its integrated SteadySwitch™ technology and a 90-degree rotatable outlet, this "all-in-one" automatic unit offers unmatched installation flexibility and long-term durability. To accommodate the higher flow rate, this kit includes upsized 1-1/8" plumbing components to minimize backpressure and ensure your boat stays dry in the most challenging conditions.

Why This Bundle Works
-
Set It and Forget It: The Sahara 1200 features a built-in mercury-free float switch. As soon as water rises, the pump kicks in; once it's dry, it shuts off.
-
Optimized Flow: We’ve matched the 1 1/8" interior diameter hose and fitting specifically to the 1200’s outlet to prevent backpressure and maximize pumping efficiency.
-
Everything is Marine-Grade: From the non-corrosive pump housing to the stainless steel worm-gear clamps, every piece is designed to survive the harsh realities of the bilge environment.
-
Simple DIY Installation: The compact pump footprint fits into tight spaces, and the included hose is long enough for most small-to-midsize skiffs, jon boats, or runabouts.
Pro Tip: When installing, ensure your thru-hull fitting is placed well above the waterline to prevent siphoning!
