Installed a Water Witch switch AND Bilge Counter a few years ago so I know if I
have a leak that needs attention. A great product. I also installed a manual
bilge switch in the bilge just beneath the sole to assist in getting the bilge

have to check these out. One of my Rule switches is flaky, or there is a bad
connection somewhere down there. As it's the secondary pump, I've ignored it
for now, but I plan to tackle it again before our long summer trip in a few
weeks. I'd love to get a switch that will activate earlier so I can have less
water down there, and keep it below the lowest keel stud.--Shawn

the Ultra Safety Systems bilge switches. They are designed with the common (3
way) connections inside the switch. That is, there are separate wires for the
manual supply, automatic supply and switched power to the pump. The negative
side also runs through the pump. Each wire comes with an adhesive heat shrink
butt connector.No need to join the manual supply, switched supply and pump
positive in a 3 way connection.Dennis C.Touch? 35-1 #83Mandeville, LASent from

<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:I have two
questions related to the correct way of doing wiring in a wet area (bilge) of
the boat.1. In the process of wiring in my new high water alarm, I found it
convenient to split an existing always hot red wire in the bilge area to run
both the bilge alarm and the emergency bilge pump switch. I had some 3 way
fittings from Defender (below) that I have used before which have crimp/heat
shrink attachment ports. After connecting them I realized that the center part
of the fitting is actually not insulated. This seemed like a bad idea,
especially for a potentially wet area like the bilge. I am confused by the
logic of a sealed connector that has an unsealed junction exposed. In the
past I used a larger crimp/shrink butt connector and stuck two wires into one
end and now that seems like a better solution.<2024633WY121.jpg>2. There is
also an open connector block for all the mast wiring in the same area of the
bilge, so high water would get to that area at a similar time as the alarm or
emergency switch. So is that considered an OK way to set up mast wiring in a
wet area?Thanks- DaveS/V Aries1990 C&C 34+New London,
