On my Viking, I installed 2 whale gusher pumps in a locker and just ran house
down into the bilge. I did instal one flart switch in the sump to run one of
the pumps automatically. I really liked that setup. The pumps stayed high and
dry and there was less stuff in the bilge.

Thanks for the info. From the look of the picture I don’t know whether the
setup will fit in my narrow bilge (< 3” wide), but there may be a way. Cheers

Thoughts on bilge pumps.
First, I'm rewiring a boat that has one of those auto switch pumps. Every 5
minutes or so it whirs and stops. Drives me nuts. Can't imagine sleeping on a
boat with one of those installed.
How I wire a bilge pump. First, install a Rule 43 3 way bilge switch in a
convenient and protected location. Power it from one of the battery
connections on the back side of your main battery switch. I usually connect it
to the house bank. If you can find it, Ancor make some nice 14/3 AWG bilge
pump cable. Run that or two positives and a single negative to the bilge.
Use a round Rule pump of your choice and strap an Ultra Safety Systems Mini
Bilge Pump switch to it.

You will have a very nice and very reliable bilge pump system.
