Cater to small and large vessels with Kingfisher Direct’s range of bilge pumps.

Bilge pumps are essential safety equipment for any vessel, designed to remove water that accumulates in the bilge, the lowest compartment of a boat. This water can come from various sources, including waves, rain, leaks, or condensation. If left unchecked, bilge water can lead to flooding, instability, and even sinking.

Kingfisher Direct offers various types of electric bilge pumps (the most common type of bilge pump) powered by the boat's electrical system. They are typically more powerful and efficient than manual pumps and can be set to run automatically or manually, with a range of flow rates available to suit your requirements.

When choosing a bilge pump, it is crucial to consider the size of your boat, the amount of water likely to accumulate, and the available power source. It is also essential to ensure the pump is installed correctly and maintained for optimal performance.

Key features to look for in a bilge pump include:

• Capacity: The amount of water the pump can move per minute.

• Automatic operation: The ability to turn on and off automatically based on water level.

• Durability: The ability to withstand the rigours of a boat and corrosion from saltwater.

• Ease of installation and inspection: The ease with which the pump can be installed in the boat and removed for inspection and maintenance. 

Kingfisher Direct’s submersible bilge pumps cover all bases, thanks to various flow rates to move differing LPM (litres per minute), corrosion-resistant ABS bodies, and an extended motor brush lifespan.
