Bilge Float Switch
Should this be installed next to the Bilge pump itself, or is there an ideal location for the float switch?
Thanks

Re: Bilge Float Switch
Mine are located side by side 4-5 inches ahead of the bilge drain hole. *Bill Mc ;D

Re: Bilge Float Switch
I have my pump and float switch screwed to a piece of 1/4 thick S.S. plate. It sets in the aft bilge box. The plate is heavy enough to keep them in place.

Re: Bilge Float Switch
I placed mine side by side about 6" out from transom...attached piece of 1/4" rubber to bottom of bilge w/5200, let cure, then attached the switch to the rubber w/bead of 5200 around base...pump itself w/5200 direct to bottom...pump broke loose, but hose keeps it right in the cured 5200 footprint... :D...ONLY time I ever had or heard of that stuff lettin' go...must notta been holdin' my jaw right when squeezin' the tube... ::)...

Actually, it's scary that we think alike. :o

Re: Bilge Float Switch
Yup. And the gpm rating of a guy in a sinking boat is 10x more than the best bilge pump. ;D
