4505 / 4507 / 4511 Installation Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Form Number 69370 Rev. D 08-09 Sahara Series Automatic Bilge Pumps
CAUTION: Read all instructions carefully before installing and using this product.
This pump is sealed and, therefore, submersible. However, the electrical wire connections must not be submerged. For extra protection, coat the butt joints and adjacent wire ends liberally with liquid electrical tape such as MDR

WARNING: To prevent injury, always disconnect the power source when installing or servicing
any electrical product. DO NOT use pump to remove gasoline, oil or other fl ammable liquids. Always use the fuse amperage rating specifi ed for your pump model. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or fi re hazards. Attwood bilge pumps are designed to exhaust STANDING WATER ONLY. They are not intended to prevent rapid accumulation of on-board water due to rough weather, hull damage, and/or other unsafe navigational conditions.
REQUIRED MATERIALS • Hose and thru-hull fi ttings, available separately from Attwood: Sahara Model 4505 and 4507– 3/4" I.D. hose: Attwood No. 4199 (includes 2 clamps) 3/4" I.D. thru-hull: No. 3873 (straight), No. 66541 or 66547 (stainless steel straight), No. 3877
(90°), or No. 3878 (double-end)
Sahara Model 4511– 1-1/8" I.D. hose: No. 11551 (clamps not included) 1-1/8" I.D. thru-hull: No. 3874 (white), No. 3874A (black) or No. 66543, 66549 (stainless steel), or No. 3879 (90°) • Two (2) hose clamps suitable for (3/4" or 1-1/8") hose. • AUTO/OFF/MANUAL dash-mounted control switch (Attwood No. 7615A). • In-line fuse connector (Attwood No. 14341) and appropriate size fuse. • Three (3) stainless steel #6 x 1/2" self-tapping screws, round or pan head. Use a #32 drill bit for
pilot holes.
• Four (4) wire butt-connectors for 16-gauge wire. • Two (2) insulated spade terminal connectors for 16-gauge wire. • Suitable means to make electrical connections waterproof. • Cordless drill. • Screwdriver. OPTIONAL MATERIALS • 1/2"-thick marine plywood block (slightly larger than pump base). • Waterproof adhesive (epoxy, silicone adhesive, or fi berglass resin) to mount block. • 16-gauge wire (brown and black). PUMP MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Remove the pump mounting base (See Figure 3). Failure to do this prevents the
pump from starting when water is present. 1. Make sure the hull thickness is at least 1/2" thick. If not, place a block of 1/2" marine plywood
(slightly larger than pump base) in the lowest part of the bilge. Be sure that the pump cover can be removed for cleaning in this position. Glue the plywood to the hull with a waterproof adhesive (epoxy, silicone adhesive, or fi berglass resin). See Figure 1.
2. Position the pump in the lowest part of the bilge on a fl at, level surface (on the plywood block if it
has been installed) with the outlet pointing toward the transom.
3. Be sure outlet nozzle is level. If pointed upward or downward, an airlock may form in the pump.
(See Figure 1.)
4. The fl oat end of the pump must be level with or above the pump end (See Figure 1). This prevents
the pump from running out of water while the fl oat is still high enough to activate the pump.
5. Mark location of the three (3) mounting holes with a pencil or scribe.
WARNING: When drilling holes do not drill through the hull!
6. Carefully drill two 1/8" diameter pilot holes in marked area and drive a screw in each hole. 7. Slide hose clamps (one to clamp hose to the pump, the other for the thru-hull connector) over end
of the hose. Force hose over the discharge nozzle of the pump. Install clamp.
8. Route hose on an upward incline to the thru-hull connector. Avoid dips in hose that can trap water
and airlock the pump. Avoid putting excess tension on hose, which can damage the pump outlet.
9. Force the hose over the thru-hull barbs and clamp into place.
THRU-HULL CONNECTOR INSTRUCTIONS If no thru-hull connector exists, choose a location for the fi tting. 1. Position thru-hull fi ttings at least 12" above the water line to prevent water from coming back into
the hull. On sailboats, mount the thru-hull high enough on the center of the transom to be above the water line at all times.
2. Place fi tting, if possible, on the same side as the steering wheel so the driver can see discharge of
water when the pump is working properly.
3. Drill hole to match outside diameter of the thru-hull connector thread. 4. Place a small bead of suitable marine sealant around inside of the thru-hull connector fl ange.
WARNING: Do not allow sealants containing acetic acid (smells like vinegar) such as
silicone rubber sealant to contact the plastic pump housing or thru-hull connector. Such sealants can attack the plastic, causing the pump housing to crack, resulting in pump failure.
5. Insert thru-hull connector through the hole and tighten to hold the thru-hull connector fi rmly in
place. CAUTION: Do not overtighten the nut.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Be certain that power source is 12-volt D.C. Higher voltage will damage the pump.
1. Using the full length of wire provided (and additional wire if necessary), connect wires to the pump
as shown in the diagram. (See Figure 2.)
2. Route wires out of the way and secure them to the bulkhead to avoid pulling. 3. Using butt connectors sized for 16-gauge wire, splice fuse holder into positive lead (brown) between
the battery and switch. Position fuse holder in a location that is easily accessible for changing fuses.
IMPORTANT: Use fuses of the proper amperage (See Specifi cation Chart at top of sheet).
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY FUSE AND MAKE THE APPROPRIATE WATERPROOF
CONNECTIONS WILL VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
4. Install a Three-Way Switch (Attwood No. 7615A) that allows for automatic or manual switching modes. 5. Turn the pump on and twist the Test Knob clockwise to check operation. Feed water into the pump.
If output appears to be too low, check the wire connections. Reversed connections result in opposite impeller rotation that drastically reduces capacity and can cause premature pump failure.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Occasionally check your pump to be certain debris is not jamming the impeller and/or fl oat within the housing. Use the test knob by rotating in a clockwise direction. Careful attention will guarantee outstanding pump performance. To clean the water chamber, remove pump housing from the mounting base by pressing in tabs on sides. Lift the pump housing away. (See Figure 3.) To clean the impeller, remove the impeller guard screw and lift the impeller guard. Remove all debris that has accumulated in pump chamber and around the impeller. Ensure that all debris is removed from strainer slots around the pump base. Inspect the impeller to ensure that it is fi rmly attached to shaft and is not cracked or broken. Replace impeller guard, screw, and pump housing on base. Be certain that all tabs are fully engaged. Periodically check the electrical connections to ensure they are water-resistant and mounted high and dry. Do not use household cleaners on the pump because many of them may damage the pump materials. ATTWOOD BILGE PUMPS LIMITED WARRANTY This Attwood Bilge Pump carries a three (3) year warranty.
