I also ran the pump sensor and took it out. I kept getting vapor lock and could not turn the pump off so it would prime. | | | |

What I've done with APC's is to put the contacts high enough on the housing that the pump doesn't turn on until after the impeller is submerged. I know that allows more water into the boat than some people would like, but it works. At that point, the only thing you have to be careful of is your pump motor rusting up.
The other way around pump priming issues is to drill a priming hole in the top of the housing. Basically, you take the smallest drill bit you own and put a hole through the top of the pump housing, into the impeller chamber. What that does is allows any air trapped inside to escape through the hole, so you don't get vaporlock. This works very well and although it slightly reduces your maximum pumping rate, the increased reliability has saved my ship on numerous occasions. | | | There are 101 different types of people: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who just can't count... | |
