John

The jumper is not standard. This summer I had to rewire my forward bilge pump and the hot wire runs directly from the switch on the panel to a cartridge fuse. I have the original wiring on a 1975 31. I had to snake a new hot wire behind the Refrig. and the head counter. If you pull out the draw over the Refrig. you should see a pvc pipe that all the wires run through. Unfortunately I could not get the wire through that pipe so I had to run my wire along side it and make it as tight as possible. The wire should come out in the starboard engine compartment and you should see two cartridge fuses close to where they come out. The fuses on the original were 10 amp, but good luck finding those. You can find 15 amp fuses. If you go with a 2000 gal rule it needs the 15 amp fuse. The older Bilge kings used 10 amps. I have a cpy of the wiring diagram from my owners manual. I could try scanning it and faxing it to you but I am not sure how it will come out. I thought there was a good one somewhere on this site but if you can not find it let me know and I will take a shot at scanning it and emailing it to you. Good luck. Tony Meola
