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?

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
