Question 1

How does it mount?  Assume the strainer is screwed down?

Accepted Answer

Our customers will often screw the strainer down to ensure it is securely placed. If you can find another way to ensure the pump is placed in a stable environment, it will still work great.

Question 2

can it be used in cold weather to flood a pond

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works wonderful.Completely submersibleLiquid Temperature: 110°F (43°C) Max.do not put it to work for very long times because is a Intermittent Duty Cycle

Question 3

what size bilge pump is needed for a 24' boat?

Accepted Answer

There are a wide variety of factors that go into such a decision.  A 750 automatic might be a nice choice.  Or, a 500 with a float switch would work.  A 2000 such at this would be top of the line and offer added assurance that you can move water out of your boat quickly.  Also, a consideration is how much water enters the boat?  Do you have through hull fittings with hoses such that a hose might develop a leak or blow off off the fitting?  How fast would water enter the boat in that situation?

Question 4

What is the max head for this pump in feet

Accepted Answer

That might be a better question for a jet pump rather than this type of high volume no-pressure pump.  As you raise the output hose, the water volume will reduce, to the point that you will have raised the hose high enough that no water - not even a drip - comes out.  That would define "max head", but it's not a useful piece of information.  More useful questions might be "what is the output without a hose at all?" "what is the volume output if the hose is raised 1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet, etc."  If you have more required lift than the pump has in capacity (found in the company literature)  then you would either need to reduce the height or get a pump with greater capacity.  Since this is likely to be used as a bilge pump, it's best to exit the pump, rise quickly to a little above the worst-case-waterline, and then gradually run downward toward the through hull fitting.  Max Head doesn't enter this installation - - maximum output/flow does.
