We gave our Review Team one job:
Find the best and most popular products and review them. Our review team always considers durability, price, quality, and value in their reviews.
Attwood has been creating products for marine applications for over 100 years and their products continue to improve while their costs have remained reasonable. The Attwood 1700 is part of Attwood’s Heavy-Duty bilge/baitwell line, and its quality and performance make it a reliable bilge pump option for the price.
It pumps 1,700 gallons per hour, but it still needs a float switch for automatic operation.

Things we like:

Reliable, lightweight pump -
Closely matches the manufacturer’s performance claims for a realistic head pressure
-
Swiveling mount for a variety of mounting options
-
3-year warranty
Things we don't like:
-
Attwood products don’t use tinned copper wire leads, so their corrosion resistance is less -
Short wire leads
