Hey, I bought a boat last year with all this dump installed already.
I have a bilge switch on the dash, but it just has an off/on switch with no "auto" position.
If I'm out fishing in the heavy rain or heavy waves or (God forbid) I spring a leak, how do I know when it's time to turn the **** thing on and how do I keep from running the thing dry? If I'm fishing, I don't like the thought of having to open the plug cap in the transom and visually inspect it every half hour.
How hard is it and how much money would it cost to replace/modify the existing pump so that it operates on a float switch? What type of switch do you use for this?
