    a few times I puchased starters and altinators for my truck or cars,only to find out they were bad also ,,,nothing like working outside in the rain and cold only to find that by,, trying to save 8 bucks ,,your doing it again, the solution to this is to open up your wallet the first time.,,now name brand stuff ,,you expect quality from ,but they fail you ,,you can send a message to these manufactuers by not buying thier product and telling them why, it is a shame that something as important as a bilge pump can be made just for a sale. were not floating around in bathtubs here ,,its time to get quality back to boats ,,,complaine when you can,,,,,,,longliner

    Why dont you march this crap back to the shop? I do ,--even here in the East. Most countries have laws that say that an item is supposed to do what it is sold to do. A pump is meant to pump, a starters meant to start. It doesnt matter what the price is. Like longliner says complain, give it them back, ask for a GOOD one this time.

    Well they will happily supply another pump,but it would be crap like the first one. The greater majority of suppliers (talking classic cars here)
    all source their parts from overseas manafactureres, places like India etc etc.
    Some stuff is okay, other stuff not. It's only by trial and error we find out what's ok to buy and what to avoid.

    I only buy cheap crap now because expensive crap is only cheap crap with a designer brand on it.

    Yup, things are being made cheap these days.... Since all of our job being imported to China, Hong Kong, Mexico..
    More and more american are being jobless, because large companies decided to pull its root and goes over sea...
    There's gotta be a answer for that..... But, where to start?..
