[C38] Bilge Pump

Mine is wired directly to the battery through the float switch.  I also
installed a bypass switch on the electrical panel so that I can turn it on
and pump the last bit of water out that the pump won't get using just the
float switch.

Subject: [C38] Bilge Pump

We just discovered, this weekend, that our bilge pump does now go on if our
batteries are set to the house.  Is this typical?  We really don't think it
is but thought we had a bad bilge pump until we set the selector to All and
then it kicked right on.  It seems to me that the bilge pump should be
independent of any selection of batteries.  Any input here?




Best regards,
