Thoughts on bilge pumps. First, I'm rewiring a boat that has one of those auto switch pumps. Every 5 minutes or so it whirs and stops. Drives me nuts. Can't imagine sleeping on a boat with one of those installed.
How I wire a bilge pump. First, install a Rule 43 3 way bilge switch in a convenient and protected location. Power it from one of the battery connections on the back side of your main battery switch. I usually connect it to the house bank. If you can find it, Ancor make some nice 14/3 AWG bilge pump cable. Run that or two positives and a single negative to the bilge. Use a round Rule pump of your choice and strap an Ultra Safety Systems Mini Bilge Pump switch to it. http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Safety-Systems-Switch-UPS-06-12/dp/B00CGJS4PQ You will have a very nice and very reliable bilge pump system.
