Automatic bilge pump in 24 Weekender

[Sejler]

I would like to install a automatic bilge pump in the engine room of my 24 Weekender?

Has anyone done this before?
I would like to see some pictures of the installations.

And what size/type bilge pump would be a good fit for a 24 Weekender?

Thanks

Hi

I can take pictures later in the week. An automatic bilge pump is recommended
I have fitted the Ultima Bilge 1250 GPH 12 V with integrated switch:

Thanks Lars.

Another question. I have these two. I believe they are pumps for the trim.
What kind of maintenance are needed on them?
Oil change?

Hi


Check the oil level and that three is no water i oil.

Red pump is for boat leveler = trim tabs
Oil = trim tab hydraulic oil biodegradable or ATF

Black pump is for the sterndrive powertrim.
Check color RED= ATF Brown Motor oil works with both but use the same type of oil when refilling ATF=ATF, Motor oil=Motor oil. Do not mix oils.

Thanks Lars,

Next question is then where do I check/fill the oil on these

On the red pump, I see a little hole close to the bottom on the left side. That might be it.

On the black pump, I cannot see any area for checking the oil level
