    Johnson Pump 05903-00 Cartridge Combo Automatic Submersible Bilge Pump - 12V, 1000 GPH - been great for me (runs often due to a leaky rub rail)

    We’ve run SPX Johnson for decades with excellent success long term in our product. Go with a pump that is manual switched, and add a simple float switch that can run it on auto it switched to Auto. We suggest the matching outlets to the existing pump outlets, which 3/4” is 1000 GPH, while 1” maintains 1250 GPH.

    All I would add is make sure it’s at least 1000GPH and 1200 would be best
