[Mark West]

I have two in my 89, one on float switch the other on manual momentary switch. then I have emergency switch that overrides float switch and momentary switch. this switch is manual on /off all switches wired direct to house battery bank with auto resetting fuse.

My '83 Rhodes had a 3/8" hose connection on the wall to the cockpit behind
the cooler.  I ran the bilge pump output to that hose connection rather
than the sink drain as the previous owner had done.  Any water from the
bilge would go into the cockpit below the starboard seat and run out the
cockpit drain.  No extra thru hulls needed.
