I have just 1 automatic bilge pump plus the manual gusher 10. The auto pump has float switch plus a manual switch at the switch panel. The float switch goes straight to the battery with fuse a few inches from + terminal. Exit for the gusher is out the stern. Exit for the auto on port side between toe rail a cove stripe. No one way valve. Neither will pump to dry bilge. No limber holes in floors. Works good for me
