About the Ultima Bilge Pump
The Ultima Bilge pump is a state of the art
automatic bilge pump that uses advanced
electronic sensing technology to detect
the presence of water in the bilge area of
a boat and consequently discharge of that
water. It is built upon the proven UltimaS-
witch technology which uses micro electri-
cal fields to detect the presence of water.
The Ultima Bilge pump is a sealed, sub-
mersible pump and electronic float switch
that allows for a simple installation for the
end user.

to remove standing bilge water only and
should not be used to pump petroleum
products such as gasoline, oil, or flam-
mable liquids.
Make sure to use the appropriate fuse size
recommended by your pump model. Using
the wrong fuse can lead to personal injury,
property damage and fire hazard.
