Also, I am switching over to Ultra Safety Systems bilge float switch when
clients are willing to pop for a few extra $$$. I think they are better
switches than the Rule float switches. More less subject to trash, etc.

Haven't put one in Touche' yet but when the Rule dies, Touche' will get a USS
float switch.
