## Description

Rule 40A Rule-A-Matic Plus Bilge Pump Float Switch, 12, 24 or 32 Volt, Moisture Tight Seals , White , Small

Review: It's just like the one that I took out.... - I bought this to replace an identical one in the bilge of our sailboat. It went into place with no problems. There's a flat spot on the bottom for you to apply your 3M 5200 adhesive, which is how my old one was attached. I cleaned the bilge really well, applied the adhesive, and put something heavy on top of the switch case. When I returned the next day, I hooked up the wires (easy) and it started right up. Unlike my old one, it shut down when the bilge level was drawn down to about a half-inch. Perfect. As boat maintenance goes, this was really simple, and I don't have to worry about a continually-running bilge pump bricking my battery. We'll mark this down as a win.
Review: High quality and works as advertised - I always use Rule pumps and switches on my boat because I think they are best made and are the most reliable. SeaRay installs them originally. They cost more than most, but maybe it's because of the quality. You can easily sink your boat if a pump or switch fails. Even though I think they are priced high, it's worth the money knowing they are reliable.

## Features

- Acrylic
- Made in the USA
- Sleek and rugged with a strong, fully integrated impact resistant cover to protect against debris and jamming

Regards,
Xylem.

**Q: How long are the lead wires**
A: Hello,
The wires on all of our Rule float switches are 28" long.
Regards,
Rule.

**Q: I have an older version of this that has a turn able knob on the side.  Any idea what this is used for?**
A: Hello,
The older float switch has a knob on the side so you can rotate and lift up the float inside to test the system.
Regards,
Xylem.

**Q: Is the hole spacing (and/or general dimensions) the same as on the older mercury switch rule-a-matic plus model?**
A: Hello Matthew,
The new float switch is slightly different from the old mercury float switch.
The mercury switch has a different hole pattern so you will only be able to use one of the holes from the old switch.
Regards,
Xylem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pump float
*by G***. on April 6, 2026*

When I replaced my rule 1500 pump that lasted 24 years. I replaced the float as well that still worked. I think the original was a mercury switch it had to go. The new is actually a switch
