I just got a 1996 B281 and am new to the forum. I have read about updating the bilge pump to automatic, and want to do that very soon, but am having a hard time understanding how to get the wire from the switch in the very shallow bilge up to the pump. There is not a lot of clearance along the side of the hose. But maybe it's not as hard to bring it up alongside the hose as it looks. Any specifics on the actual installation would be very helpful, including the wiring and installation of the auto/on/off switch.
ALSO, it looks like the rubber diaphragm on the forward fresh water tank is bad - I think it's supposed to allow the user to see how much water is in the tank without unscrewing the large circular opening. Can that be replaced?
Thanks!
