Attwood 800 GPH Automatic Bilge Pump Plumbing Kit
This heavy-duty plumbing bundle is designed for larger recreational boats requiring higher flow rates and absolute reliability. At the center of the kit is the Attwood Sahara Mk2 S800, an advanced automatic pump engineered to eliminate air-locks and provide consistent drainage in demanding marine environments.
The Sahara Mk2 features the patented X-Air™ Impeller, which prevents air bubbles from being trapped in the lines, ensuring the pump never runs dry or burns out. This "all-in-one" unit includes a built-in SteadySwitch™ for automatic operation without the need for a separate float switch. The kit comes complete with flexible, high-duty corrugated hose, marine-grade stainless steel clamps, and a professional thru-hull fitting for a seamless, out-of-the-box installation.

Why This Bundle Works
-
Set It and Forget It: The Sahara 800 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 3/4" interior diameter hose and fitting specifically to the 800’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!
