My bilge pumps are on circuit breakers, so I don't have that issue, but I suppose I would if I ever get an automatic pump. I do have a few things that use those connections and so far none have ever come off on their own. The fit is pretty tight. You can always get vice grips and squeeze the fitting together on the switch.

If you don't care about having official marine switches, you can find switches like this that could take tiny screws and nuts:

While we are talking about bilge pump controls, is there a switch that does NOT use the crappy slide on connectors?  I've zip-tied so they are not likely to get pulled off, but it is still only  a friction fitting.
If anything on the boat needs a secure connection, it is the bilge pump!
