I agree you want it straight to the battery and also maybe parallel to the switch.but straight to the battery will turn it on when the float switch in the bilge activates it. Make sure to put an inline fuse in series with the power line (+) at the battery terminal

Our (new for us) 1980 cc32 has a lovet bilge pump. But I believe it is wired so that it goes on automatically only if the pump switch on the bulkhead is switched to ON, But this means, the power to that switch has to be on, even when we are not on the boat. I am reluctant to leave that switch on when we are not on board because that means power would be on, also. Our previous boat had a small bilge pump wired directly to the battery, so when water hit a certain level, pump would go on. Any thoughts? thanks Dan Mc _____ No virus found in this message.
