    32v bilge pump switch

    I know everyone hates the Rule Super Switch. That said, I've had pretty good luck with them. In the past 10 years, I've only had to replace two of them and they had been on the boat for some number of years before I bought the boat. Due to all the negativity I've read about these switches, I am hesitant about buying another one for fear that they just aren't as good as they used to be. Any truth to that? What is everyone else using for automatic float switches in 32-volt these days if not the Rule Super Switch??

    Ang, I think there are some Ultra pump switches at Bacon's up here, which is a marine flea market. They are the 24 or 32v model, which is why I didn't buy them. If you want, I can see if they are still around. Ultra switches are the best in my experience. I believe they also have a lifetime warranty. I have one over twenty years old, still going fine.

    Ditto. I ended up switching out all my Rule and SureBail switches for these and never an issue. Less sensitive to backwash too.
