Boat owners, this Marpac bilge pump cartridge is exactly what you need to keep your bilge system running smoothly! This is the genuine 7-2218 replacement cartridge that's made right here in the USA with that quality marine-grade construction. The water-cooled housing is a smart feature that really extends the motor life, and the tough thermoplastic can handle heat and stress without issues. They've used a high-grade 316 stainless steel shaft that resists corrosion like a champ, plus heavy-duty 16-gauge tinned wiring that won't give you problems in wet conditions. It comes with both straight and omni-directional 90-degree hose barbs for the 3/4-inch discharge port, and there's even a backflow check valve included. This thing meets and exceeds all the important standards - NMMA, ABYC, USCG, and IMCI specifications, so you know it's built properly. The power head is removable making installation and maintenance pretty straightforward. We're a proper marina with over 41 years in business, not just some random drop-shipper, so we actually know these parts and have them in stock ready to ship same day if you order before 4 PM. Whether you're doing routine maintenance or dealing with a pump failure, this cartridge will get you back on the water quickly. It's one of those marine parts where quality really matters, and Marpac definitely delivers on that front.
