Written by John Wren|

Rule 1500 vs Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200 — 1500 GPH non-automatic vs 1200 GPH automatic.
Rule 1500 vs Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200 — 1500 GPH non-automatic vs 1200 GPH automatic.

B0014TU1D2 if you want Rule 1500 non-automatic 1500 GPH language. B09B3LC5XV if you want Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic language.

Key takeaways

  • Rule 1500 on B0014TU1D2 prints Non-Automatic, 1500 GPH, 1-1/8 outlet, and 4.8 amp language.
  • Sahara MK2 S1200 on B09B3LC5XV prints Sahara MK2 automatic bilge-pump language.
  • A fish finder or VHF radio is a different ASIN fight.
  • Match automatic versus non-automatic cells before you trust a shared bilge-pump photograph.

Buy the Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump, ASIN B0014TU1D2, when you want the non-automatic 12V bilge pump whose feature line prints 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible language, Easy clean snap lock strainer language, Silent and vibrationless language, Anti-airlock protection language, Compact efficient long life motor language, Ignition protected language, No burn-out when run dry language, Rust and corrosion protection language, and Marine grade blocked wiring language. Buy the Attwood 5512-7 Sahara MK2 S1200 12V Automatic Bilge Pump 1200 GPH with fittings, ASIN B09B3LC5XV, when you want the automatic bilge pump whose feature line prints Quick and easy installation language, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language, 360 degree rotatable outlet language, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, One-hand cartridge release language, SteadySwitch technology language, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 language, and model 5512-7. Match the ASIN before you match the word bilge pump or the shared GPH conversation.

Short version. A Helix 5 Chirp DI GPS G3 and a PiranhaMAX 4 are fish finders, not bilge pumps. A Rule-Mate 1100 and an Attwood Sahara S1100 are another automatic bilge pair on a neighboring shelf, not Rule 1500 versus Sahara MK2 S1200. A Rule 27SA and an Attwood Tsunami Mk2 500 are another pump pair on the same shelf family. A Rule 800 and an Attwood Tsunami T800 are still pumps with different cards. An HX890 and an M37 are handheld VHF radios. B0014TU1D2 and B09B3LC5XV are the two bilge-pump cards here.

What this is notNot a Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic with fittings, not a fish finderNot a Rule 1500 non-automatic, not a handheld VHFBuy the part on the card you opened.

Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump non-automatic 12V is ASIN B0014TU1D2. Attwood 5512-7 Sahara MK2 S1200 Automatic 1200 GPH with fittings is ASIN B09B3LC5XV. A fish finder, a Rule-Mate versus Sahara S1100 fight, and a handheld VHF are different cards.

Who should buy the Rule 1500, and who should buy the Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200?

Buy B0014TU1D2 if you want the Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump whose feature line prints 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible language, Easy clean snap lock strainer language, Silent and vibrationless language, Anti-airlock protection language, Compact efficient long life motor language, Ignition protected language, No burn-out when run dry language, Rust and corrosion protection language, and Marine grade blocked wiring language. Buy it when a non-automatic 1500 GPH Rule pump with Outlet 1-1/8 and anti-airlock protection is the job, and when you will keep that Rule 1500 attached to that ASIN instead of shopping a Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic photograph alone.

Buy B09B3LC5XV if you want the Attwood 5512-7 Sahara MK2 S1200 12V Automatic Bilge Pump 1200 GPH with fittings whose feature line prints Quick and easy installation language, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language, 360 degree rotatable outlet language, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, One-hand cartridge release language, SteadySwitch technology language, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 language, and model 5512-7. Buy it when an automatic Sahara MK2 S1200 with SteadySwitch and supplied elbow and straight outlets is the story you opened, not a Rule 1500 non-automatic with Outlet 1-1/8 and Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp.

Buy neither if you wanted a fish finder. The Helix 5 Chirp DI GPS G3 and PiranhaMAX 4 fight already owns that seat. Buy neither if you wanted a different automatic bilge pair. That is the Rule-Mate 1100 and Sahara S1100 fight. Buy neither if you needed a Rule 27SA versus Tsunami Mk2 500 or Rule 800 versus Tsunami T800 conversation and you refuse to leave those cards on their own shelves. Buy neither if a handheld VHF fight was the shelf you meant. That is the HX890 and M37 pair. Buy neither if a different Rule GPH string or a non-5512-7 Sahara was the photograph and you will not open B0014TU1D2 or B09B3LC5XV.

What is the Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump actually for?

This card is a Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump on the non-automatic 12V card language, ASIN B0014TU1D2. The Amazon feature block that travels with this part prints 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible language, Easy clean snap lock strainer language, Silent and vibrationless language, Anti-airlock protection language, Compact efficient long life motor language, Ignition protected language, No burn-out when run dry language, Rust and corrosion protection language, and Marine grade blocked wiring language. Those cells belong to B0014TU1D2. Do not paste a SteadySwitch automatic story, an X-Air Impeller cell, a 360 degree rotatable outlet, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, or a 1200 GPH Sahara MK2 claim onto this ASIN because the word Rule or the word bilge matched in a search box.

Fifteen hundred GPH is the flow sentence. Non-Automatic is the switch-type sentence. Outlet 1-1/8 is the outlet-size sentence. Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp is the continuous-current sentence. Twelve volt is the voltage sentence. Fully Submersible is the install-environment sentence. Easy clean snap lock strainer is the strainer sentence. Silent and vibrationless is the noise and vibration sentence. Anti-airlock protection is the airlock sentence. Compact efficient long life motor is the motor sentence. Ignition protected is the ignition-protection sentence. No burn-out when run dry is the dry-run sentence. Rust and corrosion protection is the corrosion sentence. Marine grade blocked wiring is the wiring sentence. None of those sentences is SteadySwitch technology. None of them is Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air. None of them invents an automatic float switch for this non-automatic card. None of them invents a different Rule GPH string the Amazon feature block on B0014TU1D2 did not print.

Non-automatic 1500 GPH bilge pump is the job. The Rule 1500 sits in the manual or switch-wired bilge conversation with other Rule pumps on neighboring desks. It is not a claim the pump is a Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic with fittings. It is not a claim the package is a fish finder or a handheld VHF. A rank that files the product under bilge pumps with 1500 GPH and Non-Automatic language is a rank that matches the feature language you can point to here. Trust 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible, Easy clean snap lock strainer, Silent and vibrationless, Anti-airlock protection, Compact efficient long life motor, Ignition protected, No burn-out when run dry, Rust and corrosion protection, and Marine grade blocked wiring next to B0014TU1D2 before you trust a collage that mixed in a Sahara MK2 S1200 body.

Non-Automatic 1500 GPH language is why the Rule stays in the cart when a non-automatic high-flow Rule sentence is the filter you opened. Outlet 1-1/8 and Easy clean snap lock strainer are why the same card stays when that outlet and strainer story matter more than a rotatable outlet with supplied elbow and straight fittings. Anti-airlock protection, Ignition protected, No burn-out when run dry, Fully Submersible, Silent and vibrationless, Compact efficient long life motor, Rust and corrosion protection, Marine grade blocked wiring, and Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp are the protection and motor sentences Rule prints for this card. Those sentences are the Rule 1500 card. They are not permission to rename the part as an Attwood 5512-7 Sahara MK2 S1200 because both products say bilge pump.

What is the Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200 actually for?

This card is an Attwood 5512-7 Sahara MK2 S1200 12V Automatic Bilge Pump 1200 GPH with fittings, ASIN B09B3LC5XV. The feature line that travels with this part prints Quick and easy installation language, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language, 360 degree rotatable outlet language, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, One-hand cartridge release language, SteadySwitch technology language, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 language, and model 5512-7. Those cells belong to B09B3LC5XV / 5512-7. Do not paste Non-Automatic 1500 GPH language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, Anti-airlock protection from the Rule card, or a Helix fish-finder story onto this ASIN because the word Attwood or the word bilge matched.

Quick and easy installation is the install sentence. Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air is the impeller and air-clearing sentence. Three hundred sixty degree rotatable outlet is the outlet-rotation sentence. Elbow and straight outlets supplied is the fittings-include sentence. One-hand cartridge release is the service sentence. SteadySwitch technology is the automatic-switch sentence. Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 is the replacement-fit sentence. Model 5512-7 is the model string that keeps this Sahara MK2 S1200 attached to B09B3LC5XV. Twelve hundred GPH and Automatic are the flow and switch-type sentences on the title. None of those sentences is Non-Automatic. None of them is Outlet 1-1/8 borrowed from the Rule feature block. None of them invents a 1500 GPH cell for this ASIN. None of them invents Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp for the Sahara card.

An automatic Sahara MK2 S1200 with fittings is an automatic bilge install job. It is not a claim the pump is a Rule 1500 non-automatic. It is not a claim the package is a fish finder or a handheld VHF. Keep Quick and easy installation, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air, 360 degree rotatable outlet, elbow and straight outlets supplied, One-hand cartridge release, SteadySwitch technology, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7, model 5512-7, 1200 GPH, and Automatic attached to B09B3LC5XV. A shop table that borrows a different Sahara GPH string or a non-MK2 Attwood from a sibling listing is a shop table. If the detail block you opened prints SteadySwitch technology, X-Air Impeller, and elbow and straight outlets supplied, that is the switch, impeller, and fittings story this comparison will treat as belonging to the part.

SteadySwitch technology and Automatic 1200 GPH language are why the Sahara MK2 S1200 stays in the cart when an automatic switch story is the filter. Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air is why the same card sits in an air-clearing impeller conversation instead of a Rule Anti-airlock protection lane. Quick and easy installation, 360 degree rotatable outlet, elbow and straight outlets supplied, One-hand cartridge release, and Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 are the install and service sentences Attwood prints for this card. Those sentences are the Sahara MK2 S1200 card. They are not permission to paste Non-Automatic 1500 GPH, Outlet 1-1/8, and Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp onto B09B3LC5XV because both pumps share a bilge aisle.

How do you read these two bilge-pump cards without mixing the fish-finder and VHF pages?

Both technique cells are bilge pumps aimed at moving water out of a hull pocket. A fish finder will not replace either of them. The Helix 5 and PiranhaMAX 4 fight already owns that seat. A handheld VHF will not replace either of them. The HX890 and M37 fight owns the radio window. Put B0014TU1D2 or B09B3LC5XV on the bilge install that matches the pump you actually opened. The Rule-Mate 1100 versus Sahara S1100 fight, the Rule 27SA versus Tsunami Mk2 500 fight, and the Rule 800 versus Tsunami T800 fight own neighboring pump windows with different cards. Those articles do not rewrite a Non-Automatic 1500 GPH or SteadySwitch S1200 cell.

The Rule 1500 card gives you 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible language, Easy clean snap lock strainer language, Silent and vibrationless language, Anti-airlock protection language, Compact efficient long life motor language, Ignition protected language, No burn-out when run dry language, Rust and corrosion protection language, and Marine grade blocked wiring language. The Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200 card gives you Quick and easy installation language, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language, 360 degree rotatable outlet language, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, One-hand cartridge release language, SteadySwitch technology language, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 language, model 5512-7, Automatic, and 1200 GPH. Those are the sentences this comparison will treat as belonging to these parts. A reviewer who timed a pump-out on a different hull is a reviewer. The feature still says what it says.

Fifteen hundred GPH Non-Automatic is not twelve hundred GPH Automatic with SteadySwitch. Outlet 1-1/8 and Easy clean snap lock strainer are not 360 degree rotatable outlet with elbow and straight outlets supplied. Anti-airlock protection is not Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air. Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp is Rule language on this pair. Do not invent a float-switch include for the Non-Automatic Rule card. Do not invent a 1500 GPH cell for the Sahara MK2. Do not invent a dollar figure for either listing. Use the buttons for the live cart.

Keep fish finders on the console shelf when sonar is the filter you clicked. Keep handheld VHF comparisons on the radio shelf when calling after the bilge plan has already failed. Keep neighboring Rule-Mate, Sahara S1100, Rule 27SA, Tsunami, and Rule 800 fights on their own ASINs when a bilge photograph tempts you into the wrong cart. The ASIN is the shopping rule on those comparisons and on this pair.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The Rule 1500 card fails when 1500 GPH and Non-Automatic are rewritten as a Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic without renaming the part. It fails when Outlet 1-1/8 is sold as a 360 degree rotatable outlet with elbow and straight outlets supplied. It fails when Anti-airlock protection is rounded into Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language. It fails when Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp is ignored and a different Rule amp cell is assumed to share B0014TU1D2. It fails when a Sahara MK2 S1200 is ordered because the word bilge matched and the Rule cell was not checked. It fails when Non-Automatic is ignored and an automatic float story is pasted onto the Rule 1500. It fails when a fish finder or VHF photograph is treated as the same ASIN as the Rule 1500.

The Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200 card fails when B09B3LC5XV, model 5512-7, and a Rule 1500 non-automatic are treated as one ASIN. It fails when 1200 GPH Automatic and SteadySwitch technology are ignored and Non-Automatic 1500 GPH language is pasted onto the Sahara. It fails when Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air is ignored and Rule Anti-airlock protection is pasted onto 5512-7. It fails when elbow and straight outlets supplied and One-hand cartridge release are ignored and a bare pump photograph drives the cart. It fails when Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 is rewritten as a Rule outlet cell. It fails when a different Sahara GPH string is ordered because the family name matched. It fails when a Helix or HX890 ASIN is opened because both conversations mention boat gear.

The shared failure is shopping a bilge-pump photograph without reading Non-Automatic 1500 GPH versus Automatic Sahara MK2 S1200 1200 GPH on the cards. Switch types differ. Outlet and fittings stories differ. Match the ASIN before the wet-pocket bag art.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a fish-finder comparison. Both cards are bilge pumps, and the Helix versus PiranhaMAX fight is elsewhere. This is not every Rule and every Attwood Sahara. B0014TU1D2 and B09B3LC5XV / 5512-7 are the cards. A different Rule GPH string, a non-1500 Rule sibling, a non-5512-7 Sahara, or a Sahara S1100 from the Rule-Mate fight is a different part if the ASIN changes. This is not a Rule-Mate 1100 versus Sahara S1100 comparison. This is not a Rule 27SA versus Tsunami Mk2 500 comparison. This is not a Rule 800 versus Tsunami T800 comparison. This is not a handheld VHF comparison. This is not a price quote. The listing moves. Use the buttons if you want the live cart. Neither card prints a timed hull pump-out chart for your boat. The job is a bilge pump, not a fish finder and not a radio.

This is also not a claim that Anti-airlock protection and Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air are the same air-handling cell. Each naming sentence stays on the card that prints it. Leave invented amp draws for the Sahara card and invented automatic switch includes for the Non-Automatic Rule card off the feature blocks you cannot point to. This is not permission to treat Non-Automatic and SteadySwitch Automatic as the same switch job.

So which bilge pump should you buy?

Buy the Rule if you want ASIN B0014TU1D2, the Rule 1500 G.P.H. Bilge Pump, 1500 GPH, Non-Automatic language, Outlet 1-1/8, Power Max Continuous 4.8 amp, 12v, Fully Submersible language, Easy clean snap lock strainer language, Silent and vibrationless language, Anti-airlock protection language, Compact efficient long life motor language, Ignition protected language, No burn-out when run dry language, Rust and corrosion protection language, and Marine grade blocked wiring language. Buy the Attwood if you want ASIN B09B3LC5XV, the Sahara MK2 S1200 model 5512-7, Quick and easy installation language, Patented X-Air Impeller clears trapped air language, 360 degree rotatable outlet language, elbow and straight outlets supplied language, One-hand cartridge release language, SteadySwitch technology language, Direct replacement for Attwood 4511-7 language, Automatic, and 1200 GPH. Buy neither if you wanted a fish finder, a neighboring Rule-Mate or Tsunami pump fight, or a handheld VHF the Rule 1500 and Sahara MK2 S1200 cards have already refused. Match Non-Automatic 1500 GPH versus Automatic Sahara MK2 S1200 before you match the word bilge.

Frequently asked questions

Rule 1500 or Attwood Sahara MK2 S1200?

B0014TU1D2 if you want the Rule 1500 non-automatic card. B09B3LC5XV if you want the Sahara MK2 S1200 automatic card.
