Interesting story when we first got Astralis.  After going through the boat 
what I thought was pretty well prior to moving the boat, we took off one 
morning to start the 120 mile trip.  

After a few minutes getting outside the harbor, I had one of my friends take 
the helm.  I went down below to check things out, and found our bilge pump 
switch like this one throwing a red light:

That caused me to investigate, and I found that water was coming into the boat 
through a cracked exhaust hose all the way at the stern where it exited the 
boat.  

We turned around, got back to the marina, got a piece of hose, and had 
everything fixed less than 3 hours later.  

I'm glad that light turns on when the bilge pump turns on!
I would, however like to add a counter on my two bilge pumps...
