In Response To: Re: foward bilge pump (Jerry Gomber)

Jerry: If you are talking to me, I mounted the 3800 right beside the other pump on the factory pad. I used one of the Ultra Pump switches from Wolff Wire and just mounted it higher up on the pump body so that it would only come on if the water was getting beyond the capabilities of the 2000 GPH pump. Those switches can be bought with different on and off water levels so it can still pump the water down pretty far. Also that big a pump needs enough water in the bilge to run right and not cavitate, so it needs to be mounted low. It is wired derectly to the batteries with a 12 gauge wire and a big waterproof fuse (I can't remember the amperage right now). No switch. If it needs to be cut off, pull the fuse. Rawleigh
