Detailed description
Detailed description
The Attwood Sahara MK2 1200 12V AFCTN automatic bilge pump is designed for reliable water evacuation in freshwater and saltwater marine environments. This S1200 model delivers a capacity of 1200 gallons per hour (GPH) and operates on 12V DC, with a recommended fuse size of 6 amperes. It is IP68 certified, confirming its waterproofing.
Technology and Design
Equipped with a patented X-Air™ impeller, this bilge pump actively ejects trapped air from the pump body and hoses, preventing airlocks that could lead to dry running and overheating. The SteadySwitch™ technology regulates the pump cycle, reducing unnecessary activations to extend the unit’s lifespan and optimize battery consumption.
Installation and Maintenance
The Attwood Sahara MK2 1200 12V AFCTN features flexible outlets with 1" (25mm) and 1-1/8" (28mm) barbed fittings, plus a 90° swivel elbow allowing 360° orientation for versatile installation. The one-hand release of the pump cartridge simplifies maintenance, even in tight spaces. Its design ensures rear compatibility with many existing bilge pumps via a 7-hole mounting pattern. External mounting feet allow cartridge replacement without removing the entire pump basket.
Reliability and Durability
Constructed with an ABD pump body and float, a PBT (GF) impeller, a 316 stainless steel motor shaft, and nitrile seals, this pump is built for long service life. It features improved thermal dissipation to prevent overheating and offers 40% greater protection against water intrusion and electrolysis compared to the Sahara MK1 model, and twice that of many competitors. The 5512 series pump meets U.S. and international standards, including NMMA, CE, RCM, and UKCA certifications.
