Do all the bilge pumps have a pretty decent amount of back flow once the pump turns off? We don't use the shower but the ice box cold plate was removed by PO so when we ice up the drinks,the melt drains into the bilge. When the float switch is on the pump works fine but I feel like a pint or possibly more (never measured) comes back in when the pump turns off.
So essentially I either shop vac it dry or live with a half inch to an inch of water. I can't imagine this is how it is supposed to be.
While on the subject of the ice box does anyone have recommendations for aftermarket refrigerator options. Last question, the bilge pump isn't directly wired to the battery so I leave the house battery on while away (in slip hooked up to shore power). How hard is t to hard wire the bilge pump so it always has power? Thanks in advance, first sailboat I've owned and only had it for about a year so tons to learn.
