{"product_id":"qbp690545","title":"Attwood Marine Automatic Bilge Pump Float Switch, 12V\/24V, With Cover","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Attwood Marine 4201-7 is an automatic float switch with cover for 12V and 24V bilge pump systems. It adds automatic on and off control to a non-automatic electric bilge pump and is rated for loads up to 12 amps at 12V DC or 6 amps at 24V DC. The switch trips the pump at a 2 inch water level, which gives the bilge a prompt response without needing manual activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe covered low-profile body suits tight bilge spaces where sloshing water and loose debris can cause trouble for exposed switches. It mounts on surfaces from horizontal up to 24 degrees, uses 36 inch wire leads for installation, and includes a test knob so pump operation can be checked at the switch. The sealed switch body is mercury-free and CE rated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverts a manual bilge pump setup to automatic operation on 12V or 24V DC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles pump loads up to 12 amps at 12V DC or 6 amps at 24V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical float switch turns the pump on at 2 inches of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered housing helps cut down cycling from bilge slosh and keeps debris away from the float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile body mounts on surfaces from horizontal up to 24 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 inch wire leads give extra reach for routing in the bilge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in test knob lets you check pump operation without lifting the float by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed switch body resists moisture, fume ignition, and electrical shock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch can be mounted on its own in the bilge or fitted directly onto the rear slots of an Attwood V-Series pump bracket. That gives a cleaner install when you are pairing it with a compatible pump bracket and helps in compartments where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor retrofit work, the current rating is the first thing to confirm before purchase. The switch needs to be matched to a pump that stays within the stated 12V or 24V load limits, and the mounting surface needs to let the float move freely without hoses, wiring, or hull structure getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is a good match for boats using a separate bilge pump and switch arrangement rather than an integrated automatic pump. It fits many small to mid-size bilge compartments where a covered switch is preferred to help control nuisance cycling and keep debris from interfering with float movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also makes sense when you want a simple mechanical switch with a local test point at the bilge. That can be useful on fishing boats, runabouts, small cruisers, and sailboats where routine pump checks are part of normal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023467868341,"sku":"QBP690545","price":44.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329303_qbp690545.webp?v=1780191822","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp690545","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
