Pump switch has no auto option
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2016 3:34 am
On our 2007 Outrage 210 the bilge pump switch is only a two way (ON or OFF) while the owner's manual says it should have an AUTO option also.
Is [the use of ony a two-position switch in this particular boat] because the pump and float switch is probably wired directly to the battery so [it is] always in Auto?
Or, is my setup wrong?
The switches are all factory so I suspect the former. If it is then I guess the float switch is dead, as I've put plenty of water in the bilge when cleaning it out and the pump did not automatically start. :(
Presuming a dead float switch, are there better options than the factory-fitted one?
