Dan,
When I install/wire bilge pumps with float switch, I use a Rule #43 or Blue Sea
8263 rocker switch with built in fuse. I wire the power to the switch to the
back of the main battery switch (Perko) to the post for either the #1 or #2
battery. Functionally, it's wired to the battery but isn't in the battery box.
The only wiring in the battery boxes should be the + and - battery cables.
