I did some reading on automatic 12V bilge pumps and found some that might have been suitable.
But after considering the changing weather and other factors,
I decided to go with old-tech. I wanted to use proven hardware.
Devices that had a reputation for many years of unattended performance.
Whereas a 12V system requires periodic testing the backup battery, cleaning the PV panels etc..
I asked myself, what system is going to last 10 to 20 years with having to even look at it?
What system will my wife be able to get repaired, in the likely event of my demise?
