New bilge pump and wiring

Why don’t you propose something - then we poke holes in it. Really wiring a bilge pump is about as simple as it comes. Use good quality heat shrink crimps, an on-off-auto switch. Usually well spelled out in the manual.

I know how to hook one up, I have had at least 12 sailboats in my 65 years. Just making a statement.
Fair enough. I’ll make my usual suggestion regarding bilge pumps then. Put the bilge pump on a cycle counter. They are available as a separate device or as part of an on/off/auto switch. If you are away from the boat for extended periods, or even just a few days, an automatic bilge pump can mask a small problem until it becomes a big problem. The counter will tip you off when something is not right. Cheap insurance.
