I put a automatic float switch on mine ,it will come on automatic when water gets in the boat....The way mine is wired I do not have to have my other switch on. Run a hot all the time wire to the float switch, that way you do not have to have your other switch on and your other switch will still work the same if for some reason the float switch ever fails. Only one problem.....everytime I wash the boat it will come on just as I walk by the outlet and give me a good soaking, lol.
