Added a counter.  It was great.  Then I replace bilge pump with new water 
sensing integrated one.  Not great.  It records all of the sensing cycles.  
Need to replace it again with old school pump.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Bilge pump question

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:

https://www.amazon.com/Rule-41-Marine-Deluxe-12-Volt/dp/B000O8EZYA/ref=asc_df_B000O8EZYA/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312128389336&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6108134242188170768&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012380&hvtargid=pla-570016585845&psc=1

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...
