Off: The pump will not run regardless of the position of the float switch.That’s right. I’m not exactly certain what off-auto-manual means... I’m sorry. The bilge pump runs automatically when triggered by the water level, and we have a manual switch on our 12v DC breaker panel that we have to hold down to turn on the pump.
Yup. This makes perfect sense. This would keep you from setting it on manual, forgetting that you did, leaving the boat, and coming back 2 weeks later to a burned out bilge pump!Thank you. I thought that's what that would mean, but ours is set to run automatically, and our switch on our DC panel can be held down to go from auto to manual mode, but when released it goes back to auto.
terrific So glad to help. Mine took about 30 minutes too. Did sacrifice the skin of one knuckle in the proces. But then the owner of our marina and best mechanic ever said it’s not a real boat project unless there is blood.@quadrille38 - As always, THANK YOU! I don't know why I didn't think to tag you, but you've helped answer nearly every question I believe I've had about this boat. Soooo much appreciated!
We went ahead and clipped the wires - didn't get shocked in the slightest. The whole process took about 30 minutes and that was primarily because we had about 3 inches of working space and had to get all of the wires zip tied back nice and neat. Done and done!
