Johnson Pump Ultima 1000 GPH 12V Bilge Pump, 32-47260-003

The Johnson Pump Ultima 1000 GPH Bilge Pump (32-47260-003) is a 12V DC submersible bilge pump built for continuous duty in boats needing reliable water removal. It features an integrated switch, so it is ready to install and run without a separate float switch. The pump body is molded from tough thermoplastic, while the shaft is stainless steel, giving the unit durability against corrosion and long-term wear in a wet bilge environment. Reverse wire protection ensures the pump is safe from incorrect polarity wiring during installation.

Two DuraPort discharge port options are included: a straight port and a 90 degree smooth elbow port, so the pump can be plumbed to fit the available space in the bilge. The DuraPort design is engineered to resist stress cracking that can occur when hose clamps are over-tightened, a common failure point on lower-quality bilge pumps. A removable check valve is also included, helping prevent backflow of water into the bilge once the pump shuts off.

At full straight-line capacity, the Ultima 1000 GPH moves 1000 gallons per hour; at a 3 foot head, output is rated at 700 gallons per hour. It draws 3.2 amps and is designed for use with a 5 amp fuse, and connects via a 3/4 inch discharge fitting.
