Any idea how long a battery can run a attwood 500 bilge? Its pouring here and I'm concerned about how long my battery and bilge can, could, should, last.

Re: NorEaster - Bilge/battery life

Depends on the size of the battery and its state of charge. The pump draws about 2 amps, maybe a little more as it warms, so it would run for a couple of days but that of course depends on how often it runs, how long it's cycles are, and the quality of the battery.
