Attwood HD 2000 Bilge Pump 4730-4, 12 Volt, Over 2000 GPH, Ball Bearing Design
The Attwood HD 2000 bilge pump (part number 4730-4) is Attwood's highest capacity bilge pump, built to move large volumes of water quickly to keep a bilge dry in demanding conditions. The pump runs on 12-volt power and delivers over 2000 GPH at open flow while drawing less than 7 amps, giving strong output without placing excessive load on the battery. A ball-bearing design allows the motor to run cooler, which extends motor life compared to pumps relying on bushings alone. The pump is equipped with an anti-airlock nozzle to help prevent air from becoming trapped in the pump housing during operation, which supports more consistent priming and water removal. It comes fitted with a 36 inch wire for connection into the boat's bilge pump circuit. The compact housing measures 5.97 inches by 3.83 inches, allowing it to fit into standard bilge pump mounting locations. This pump is suited for boat owners who need high-volume automatic bilge pumping and want a durable, cooler-running motor for long-term reliability.
