This is a new center bilge for 2026 but also replaces the older yellow/black pump. It utilizes the same connections to the wire harness but now has an external field sensor. It was changed to address the issues below with the past pump:
- Address filter head falling off – this is the yellow piece that’s often found loose in the center bilge.
- Improve drain function with an external field sensor that identifies the bilge water at a lower elevation, thus starting the bilge sequence earlier.
This new field sensor also has a 30-second overrun timer that allows the pump to stay on for 30 seconds after the sensor stops sensing water, which gets more of the remaining water that’s below the sensor elevation than before.
