Rule Industries 16A GPH Non-Automatic Submersible Electric Bilge Pump - 3700 24V

The Rule Industries 16A is a high-capacity, non-automatic submersible electric bilge pump delivering 3,700 gallons per hour (GPH) at 24 volts DC. Built for heavy-duty commercial and larger pleasure boat applications, this pump combines rugged construction with a compact, energy-efficient motor designed for reliable, long-term performance in demanding marine environments.

The 16A features a durable ABS plastic housing with an integrated snap-lock strainer base that separates from the pump body without tools, making it easy to clear debris and restore full flow quickly. The motor uses a 5/16" stainless steel shaft, water cooling, and vibration-free centrifugal impellers — and is engineered to run dry without burning out, protecting your vessel even in low-water conditions.

Key Features:

• 3,700 GPH flow rate at open flow (24V DC)
• 1-1/2" discharge outlet with included straight and 90° port attachments
• 6.9 amp draw at 24 volts DC; 15-amp recommended fuse

• Tool-free snap-lock strainer base for fast cleaning and debris removal
