Looking for a setup on a automatic bilge pump for a 26. The keel is bolt-on, so the hull's bilge is practically non-existant (read very shallow). If someone has had any luck with a system, or has a suggestion, please reply.

Although we have a Pearson 28, same deal with a very shallow bilge. The boat came with a Whale SuperSub 650 which fits and since there are no dead fish inside the boat I'm assuming it works ok (bought the boat on the hard).

Thanks Jim! I've been looking at the Whale Supersub 650, and the newer Bilge IC. Trying to find info on what water level the sensor will turn the pump on?

Rob - here's an excerp from one of the vendors:

SuperSub Smart650 Bilge Pump
The unique design, high flow rate, and innovative technology place this pump in a class of it's own. The Whale SuperSub Smar650 measures 2 1/8" high by 2 15/16" wide, produces a flow rate of 650 gallons per hour, and utilizes Whale's Patented Electric Field Sensor Technology. Whale's Electric Field Sensor Technology senses the water level and automatically controls the pump, making it fully automatic. The unique dimensions make SuperSub Smart 650 the lowest profile automatic bilge pump on the market and the high 650 GPH flow rate on such a compact pump is almost unheard of. This pump is able to go where others cannot ensuring that the pump can access water deep down in the bilge of the boat or difficult to reach areas under engines or in personal watercraft.
I think the sensore is "magic!"
