In Response To: Livewell Timer, Help From the Faithful (Capt. Dave Kosh)

Capt Dave,
I've seen a few of those timers and ther're limited to 10 amps.
The way around that is have the timer operate one of those square 12v relays to switch the power on and off to the motor.
Relay coils draw very lttle so the timer won't burn out.
The other problem is the timers are not very water resistant. Using a relay will allow you to locate the timer inside the cabin instead of out in the cockpit.
