Rule 02 Bilge Pump 12V Submersible 1500 GPH — Compact Corrosion-Resistant Pump for Small Boats

Engineered for marine conditions, the Rule 02 delivers sustained flow without the complexity of automatic float switches. This non-automatic, high-capacity unit is built from corrosion-resistant materials and designed to fit into tight spaces on skiffs, jon boats, pontoons, kayaks and live wells. With a six-foot power lead and straightforward mounting options, the pump is ready to be added to new systems or replace older units that need higher output.

How quickly will this pump clear my boat?

The Rule 02 moves up to 1,500 gallons per hour (1,500 GPH / 5,678 LPH) when fully submerged, making it effective at reducing standing water quickly in many small craft. Actual evacuation time depends on hull shape, drain/through-hull restrictions, and hose diameter, but the high flow rating gives it a clear performance advantage over small utility pumps.

• Flow rate: 1,500 GPH (5,678 LPH)
• Voltage: 12V DC for common marine electrical systems
• Fully submersible design for efficient intake
• Suitable for bilge, livewell, and general dewatering tasks

Is installation difficult for a DIY boater?

Installation is straightforward for most boaters: the pump arrives with a six-foot wire and a compact footprint that fits into bilge wells or livewell compartments. It is non-automatic, so you will wire it to a dedicated switch or integrate it into an existing pump circuit. No specialized tools are required for basic mounting and hose hookups.

• Included six-foot wire for simple wiring
• Compact shape fits tight bilge spaces
• Works with standard marine hoses and fittings
• Requires user-provided switch or integration into pump kit

Will this pump withstand salty or wet environments?

The Rule 02 is manufactured using corrosion-resistant components suited for marine use and regular exposure to water. While robust, it should still be rinsed and inspected periodically as part of routine boat maintenance to preserve seals and electrical connections. Proper mounting and hose routing reduce strain and extend service life.

• Corrosion-resistant construction for marine environments
• Sealed submersible motor housing to prevent water intrusion
• Durable materials that tolerate frequent wet/dry cycles
• Periodic inspection recommended for long-term reliability

Can I use the pump for my livewell or other onboard needs?

Yes — the Rule 02’s steady flow and compact size make it suitable for livewells, bait wells, and other onboard water circulation tasks where a controllable non-automatic pump is preferred. It's versatile enough to serve as a bilge pump and as a portable dewatering option when transferred between small craft.

• Dual-purpose: bilge and livewell compatible
• Portable and easy to reposition between boats
• Works with common bilge and livewell hose fittings
• Non-automatic control for on-demand operation

Who is this for: The Rule 02 Bilge Pump is ideal for owners of small to mid-size boats—skiffs, jon boats, pontoons, kayaks, and anglers using livewells—who need a dependable, high-flow 12V submersible pump without automatic switching. It suits DIY boaters upgrading older pumps, fishermen needing livewell circulation, and anyone who values a robust, compact unit that integrates easily into existing marine systems.
