Default Manual or Electric Head? It is time to Replace.


Everyone knows how to push a button. I certainly don't want
a repeat of the July 4th fiasco.


We had an electric head on our C&C 32 and it was 100% reliable and no
problem for anyone. On our current Beneteau we have the conventional
pump head and it's a PIA to explain it's workings to people and simply
less effective. We're converting to the electric before next season. If
you have a lot of guests, it's VERY worthwhile.
Ours had no provision for pumping if power failed. We never drained our
batteries flat, but I could see how a manual backup is not a bad idea.
If you own a boat with two heads, I'd keep one as a manual, which is
what my friend did on his Tayana. Good luck!
