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
"Ultima Switch" technology which uses
micro electrical fields to detect the
presence of water. The Ultima Bilge pump
is a sealed, submersible pump and
electronic float switch that allows for a
simple installation for the end user.

To eliminate personal injury or damage to
property during installation, servicing and
maintenance, make sure to disconnect
electrical power. This pump was designed
to remove standing bilge water only and
should not be used to pump petroleum
products such as gasoline, oil, or
flammable 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.
Original instructions
Installing the Ultima Bilge Pump:
Caution: When installing the Ultima Bilge
Pump, make sure that pump is clear of
all obstacles, especially near the detector
area. If detectors are blocked, the pump
will remain continuously on!
1) Place a 3/4" thick block of marine
plywood as a mounting block for your
pump base. Mounting block should be
large enough to cover the strainer area.
Use a waterproof adhesive to attach
mounting block to the hull of the
vessel. Make sure that mounting block
is as flat as possible. Place pump in
the lowest area of the bilge. Also, make
sure discharge nozzle is level.
2) Remove the pump from the strainer by
depressing the two side tabs and
pulling the strainer from pump body.
Use the strainer to mark three m
ounting holes. In order to avoid drilling
through the hull of the vessel, set your
drill to the appropriate depth for the
pilot holes. Drill your pilot hole.
3) Drive three #8 x 5/8" (not supplied)
Stainless screws into the strainer holes
to mount the strainer. Do not over
tighten.
4) After the strainer is mounted down,
place pump body onto strainer making
sure that the side tabs lock onto pump
body.
For ¾" discharge models attach your
hose over the Duraport. Use Stainless
steel hose clamps to secure the hose. If
installing the optional check valve, make
sure to install the check valve into the
Duraport before installing the hose.
For 1 1/8" models attach your hose over
threaded port [1 1/8" or 1¼"]. Use
Stainless Steel hose clamps to secure the
hose to the ports. If installing the optional
check valve, make sure to install the check
valve before installing the hose and ports.
