Perfect replacement
This pump works well, as it should right? Thing is, we/me wanted an exact replacement of the one that was in the Sea Ray I was working on. You know, same bolt pattern etc. The owner was impressed that I was able to get the same one.

Identical to the old one
Direct, identical replacement for the one in my boat ('02 Four Winns Horizon 190) that stopped working......I kinda expected it to be a discontinued part and I'd have to drill new holes to mount a different model switch....But fortunately that wasn't the case....

Exact replacement for my boat
Had this switch in my boat, and it works very well. After 4 years of service, the switch failed, so replaced with the same.

Perfect Replacement Float Switch
This was an exact replacement switch so it fit perfectly, works as it should. The original was 16yrs old and was pretty mucked up with algae. Hope to get the same durability from this one. I added the correct waterproof electrical connector to the end of the wires provided in the kit so it would connect to my boat's wire harness rather than cutting and splicing.

Attwood float switch with cover
Float switch is nice and works as advertised. It is a bit heavy and the cover does come off if you wanted to just use the switch without the cover- there are two bolts on the side only. if you install it with the cover the bolts go on top. I am not happy with this float switch only because it activates/engages the bilge pump on very high level. About two inches + to click. That is very high on a boat, as the surface inside a boat could be very spread and at two inches of water spread in a 27 foot boat for example, can mean 20+ gallons of water prior to kicking the bilge pump. The float switch sits 2/5 inches higher than the base level. once it's engaged and it comes down, it disengages the pump when at 1 inch from the base level..so you technically already have an inch of water staying in no matter how close to the hull you install this thing. I used some foam and glue to make for the difference. Overall a good switch need to check how it holds this season. Bought this with a 1200 gph Attwood bilge pump

Exact match
I couldn’t find the exact part number so I had to guess. If anyone else has an old model 420f this one is the same exact size.

Works as intended
Replaced the exact same model with this one and works as intended. Screw holes and everything fit so no additional holes in my boat

Worked well for 6 months, then not shutting off anymore. Draining the battery by constantly running the bilge pump. Luckily I caught it on time before I lost my boat. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.
