Haha... I think you missed what I was saying. It can rain a foot an hour and my bilge pumps won't come on. My Ranger is self baling, doesn't require a pump...what comes in, goes right back out.Quote:

Should have a manual bilge switch on the dash. Don't guess I've seen a boat without one, but I haven't seen em all YET!!! [emoji4]Quote:

Bill, it has a fuse for a manual switch but there's no switch on the dash. I looked close to the bilge but haven't found it yet. Got to be somewhere.
yep, you spring a leak and you are doneQuote:

Most of the three ways I see are on the live well pump. Don't see many like that on the bilge pumps. Auto is just that, Auto. Shouldn't need to switch it for that.Quote:
